Protecting Lives, Livelihoods and Planet
October 14-15, 2022
World leaders will gather in Washington, DC for G20, G7, IMF and World Bank Meetings from October 10th - October 16th. At these meetings, they will make consequential decisions affecting billions of people and our planet. In the face of shocks from the Ukraine war, the pandemic and food crisis, we are calling on world leaders to support jobs, vaccine distribution, debt relief, economic aid and climate change solutions.
Join us on Friday, October 14th for a vigil, teach-in and press conference outside of the IMF, World Bank and G20 Meetings. Hear how religious and community leaders from around the world are working for a Jubilee. On Saturday morning, October 15th, we will bring thousands of paper chains to the IMF calling for debt relief and economic aid.
