S3 Ep7: Debt strike, from local to global

About this episode

Zoe and Larissa discuss the historical context and necessity of debt resistance and abolition in the fight for climate justice.

From the peasant revolution in 1300s England to the Debt Collective’s abolishing nearly $200 million in student loans, debt resistance has long been a tool to bring people together. This week, Zoe and Larissa discuss historical wins and how debt abolition is a necessity in our demands for climate justice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
