Austerity is devastating people's lives. The welfare state is under attack, workers’ rights are being eroded and poverty and inequality are on the rise. To the majority of the world, this is not a new crisis. The austerity being imposed in the UK and across Europe has been repeated across the world for decades. These policies make the richest richer at the expense of everyone else, concentrating wealth, increasing inequality and failing to serve the needs of the many.
But this is not a one sided story – people across the world are resisting these unjust policies. Join us for an inspiring day of discussion, film and practical workshops on the impact of the economic crisis and austerity - and resistance across the world.
Find out what you can do to build the global fight back.

- Emma Avilés, PACD (Citizen’s Debt Audit Platform), Spain
- Alfamir Castillo, Women Sugar Cane Cutters Committee, Colombia
- Adam Hanieh, SOAS
