🚨 The “austerity trap” is real. 1) Global South countries are trapped in debt cycles. To repay, they’re pushed to expand fossil fuel extraction - deepening climate breakdown #EndAusterity

In a new guest analysis for our #ObserverSummer25 Charith Gunawardena argues IMF failed approach to debt sustainability and #austerity in Sri Lanka adds evidence for urgent need of IFA reform, including a UN debt workout mechanism #FfD4 #G77 tinyurl.com/SriLankaIMF

Our new #ObserverSummer25 is out now🚀 This edition covers civil society demands of unconditional debt relief in #Jubilee2025, IMF's upcoming surveillance review, World Bank's billions to trillions 'fantasy', Sri Lanka, Argentina & the IMF, #FFD4, and more 🔥👇 tinyurl.com/ObserverSumm...

🌍✨ #Throwback to IAFFE ✨🌍 Our co-coordinator Mati Kohonen says it loud: progressive taxation is key to funding care systems & building fairer societies. It’s time to #EndAusterity & fight for #TaxJustice. Join us! 📢 endausterity.org #CareEconomy #FutureBeyondAusterity #EndAusterity #EndAusterityNow

#FfD4 is far from the milestone for global economic governance reform it could have been. For #CivilSociety, it's clear that the job is not done. We need real reform, not a watered-down consensus. Read our analysis 👉 www.eurodad.org/ffd4_job_not...

💡 "One of the most promising avenues is to introduce a minimum tax for the ultra-rich, expressed as a percentage of their wealth." Seven Nobel laureates in economics advocate for the Zucman tax in their latest op-ed. Read the full @lemonde.fr article 👇 www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

At #IAFFE2025, we discussed how care systems remain underfunded despite post-pandemic momentum. Austerity and regressive tax systems are holding us back. It’s time to prioritize care in public budgets. #FeministEconomics #CareEconomy #EndAusterity

Why is everyone talking about a wealth tax? 🧵 Under pressure from the public, the govt walked back a number of its planned cuts to social security last week. That means the conversation has turned back to tax. The govt has 3 main choices... 1/8 www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/is-it-...

🌍 That’s a wrap on #FfD4 - but this is only the beginning. We stood together to expose austerity, debt traps & elite power. We demanded: ✅ #EconomicJustice ✅ #DebtCancellation ✅ #ClimateJustice We will not be silenced. We are here to stay. This is the start of an #EraOfJustice to #EndAusterity ✊

🌍 As #FFD4 comes to a close, the fight for tax justice continues: pushing for more countries to join the Seville Platform for Action, holding leaders to their promises, and pushing for real action. The movement is getting stronger #TaxTheSuperRich. #FFD4 www.taxthesuperrich.world

We took action at #FfD4 to say: the era of austerity must end. Austerity isn’t “fiscal responsibility.” It’s a system to protect wealth while communities pay the price. We demand: ✅ #DebtCancellation ✅ #ClimateJustice ✅ #TaxTheRich We will not be silenced. We are fighting for an #EraOfJustice.

🔥At #FfD4, our member @IBONInternational launched Disrupting the Austere World - a primer on neocolonialism, austerity, and resistance. A must-read for building economic justice. 📢 Download & join the movement: iboninternational.org/download/dis... #EndAusterity #EraOfJustice

Today at #FfD4, we brought together advocates to share real solutions beyond austerity. As @isabelortiz.bsky.social said: “Slashing social protection is the most common austerity tactic.” Time to build systems that care. #EndAusterity #FFD4 #EraofJustice

Brian Cox, actor and supporter of @patmillsuk.bsky.social, joins the global call to #TaxTheSuperRich! He’s speaking out against the dangerous concentration of wealth — and calling on governments to act. No more excuses. It’s time for tax justice ⚖️ #FFD4 #FfD4People

From #Sevilla to the world: 📢 Our voices are rising against austerity & injustice. 📢 #FfD4 failed to deliver real solutions. 📢 We demand debt justice and an #EraOfJustice. #endausterity #peopleoverprofits

🌍 We are kicking off #FfD4 in Seville with a Debt4Climate Hub! Join us tonight for powerful discussions on debt, colonialism, and militarism, plus a cultural program, snacks, and solidarity. Let’s connect struggles and build power to end austerity! #EndAusterity #EraOfJustice

📢 Join us at #FfD4! 🗓️ 30 June | ⏰ 12:30–2:00 PM 📍 Fibes, Sevilla – Room Side Event 21 Rights-based development finance is the future. Let’s shape a post-Seville agenda rooted in justice & human rights. #EraOfJustice #FinanceJusticeNow #TaxJustice

📢 Join us at #FfD4 in Seville! Financing Alternatives to Budget Cuts 🗓️ 2 July | 🕝 2:30–4:00 PM 💬 How do we fund universal social protection without austerity? Hear from global experts & activists on real solutions. #EndAusterity #FinanceOurFuture #EraOfJustice

🌍 From Austerity to Justice What if we stopped pretending there’s no money? There is money - it’s just hoarded by the ultra-rich & hidden by corporations. Meanwhile, communities face cuts, closures & collapsing services. #TaxJusticeNow #EndAusterity #FfD4

🌍 The world is drowning in inequality — and the rich are floating to the top. Meanwhile, public services are slashed and climate goals underfunded. Why? Because austerity protects wealth, not people. It’s time to #TaxTheRich and #EndCorporateGreed. #FfD4 #EndAusterity

🔥 Stop financing destruction - start fueling justice. Austerity is blocking the clean energy transition we urgently need. Cutting budgets while the climate burns isn’t policy — it’s sabotage. #FfD4 #EndAusterity #ClimateJustice #FfD4People #EraOfJustice

🌍 Climate Reparations, Not Austerity. At #FfD4, the Global North must confront its climate debt — not with loans or conditions, but with public, grant-based finance that supports justice, not deepens inequality. #EndAusterity #ClimateFinanceNow #FfD4

🚨 Despite strong calls from the Global South and civil society, the final #FfD4 agreement fails to address the structural roots of austerity: ❌ No UN-led debt resolution ❌ No tax justice on the rich ❌ No public finance for climate & care #EndAusterity #FfD4

👩🏽‍🎓 Feminist economists have long warned: austerity deepens gender inequality. 🛑 Cuts to care, health, and education hurt women the most. ✅ Fund public services. Center care. End austerity. #FeministEconomics #GenderJusticeNow #FundCareWork #EndAusterity #EndAusterityNow

🔁 Powerful reflection from @MenaFem on #FfD4: 🧵 “The Illusion of Consensus” exposes how austerity and colonial power dynamics were preserved behind closed doors. No justice without systemic change. Read more 👉 menafemmovement.org/the-illusion... #EndAusterity #EraOfJustice #FfD4

Despite the devastating impact of austerity, climate breakdown & debt distress, powerful countries like the UK & EU are trying to block progress on fair global finance rules at #FfD4. We need justice — not sabotage. #EndAusterity #DebtJustice #EraOfJustice #StopTheSabotage

🚨 The EU & UK are trying to block a UN-led debt resolution at #FfD4 — despite strong calls from civil society & the Global South. They're protecting a global system of austerity. 📢 We demand: ✅ Debt cancellation ✅ Public investment ✅ A just economy #EndAusterity #debtJustice

By blocking UN-led #debt reform at #FfD4, the #EU and #UK are denying the global South a voice — and locking countries into austerity. This protects the system, not the people. We need debt justice to #EndAusterity. #CancelTheDebt #GlobalJustice

💼 The G7 Summit starts Sunday. They designed the playbook, with austerity in mind. Cuts at home, IMF-backed austerity abroad. 📢 Ahead of #FfD4, we demand: ✅ Cancel the debt ✅ End austerity ✅ Fund care & climate #EraOfJustice #EndAusterity

🚨 Ad hoc debt deals are failing the Global South. ⚠️ Without a fair and transparent global system, austerity becomes a permanent reality for countries in crisis. 📢 End the cycle. End austerity. #CancelTheDebt #EraOfJustice #ReformTheRules

🔁 Trillions are lost each year to tax avoidance by the wealthy and corporations. 🛑 That’s money stolen from public services and climate action. ✅ The solution? A UN Tax Convention for fair global tax rules. #TaxTheRich #UNTaxConvention #FinanceJusticeNow

🚨 Austerity is back — and it's hurting lives. We rise for an #EraOfJustice: debt cancellation, tax justice, and public investment. ✊ Join us at #FfD4 to demand real change: endausterity.org #EndAusterity #DebtJustice #TaxTheRich #ClimateJustice

🪧 This Saturday, thousands will march in London to say NO to Austerity 2.0 and YES to public services, fair pay & justice. Join the fightback! #EndAusterityNow 📍 London 🔗 morningstaronline.co.uk/article/thou... #WeDemandBetter #AusterityKills #GeneralElectionNow

🌏 Asian and Global South movements are calling out the hypocrisy at #UNFFD4. While rich countries block a UN Tax Body, they push austerity, debt, and climate inaction on the Global South. #EndAusterity #TaxJustice

Powerful words from Joseph Stiglitz in support of the #Jubilee2025 call. Debt is suffocating countries that need investment in people and planet—not repayments to wealthy creditors. #CancelDebtChooseHope

🚨Workers' rights are under siege. The 2025 @ituc.bsky.social Global Rights Index shows: 🔻 87% of countries violate the right to strike 🔻 80% undermine collective bargaining 🔻 72% block access to justice 🔻 Only 7 of 151 countries fully protect rights (from 18 in 2014) #GlobalRightsIndex#WorkersRights

💬 @cafod.bsky.social is right — debt isn't just numbers. It's driving austerity, stripping funding from hospitals, schools & vital services. Because much of this debt is governed by UK law, we can help end this injustice. 📢 Call for debt justice now ⤵️

🌍 The 2025 World Social Summit must be a turning point — not another missed opportunity. Governments are meeting to discuss global development. But will they finally reject the austerity policies that have deepened poverty, inequality, and injustice? #WorldSocialSummit

🇦🇷 Argentina is burning with resistance! Mass protests erupted after President Milei pushed extreme austerity through Congress. The response? 🚨 Tear gas 🚨 Water cannons 🚨 Police in riot gear This is the cost of neoliberal violence. #ArgentinaResiste #EndAusterity #Milei

130 countries in the #GlobalSouth are drowning in debt. 🌍 #FfD4 must deliver real #DebtReform — the EU’s current stance isn’t enough. It’s time for an #EraOfJustice. ✊ 📝 Sign the petition: eurodad.org/jubilee_2025...

📉 Austerity is creeping back in #Romania. But there's a better way forward. Instead of slashing public services, Romania should focus on smart investments to strengthen its economy and protect people. 🧵 #EndAusterity @brettonwoods.bsky.social

endausteritycampaign ⚠️ Austerity in Egypt isn't just economic—it's a form of structural violence against women. It's time to rethink economic reforms that perpetuate gendered harm. 🔗 Learn more: noria-research.com/mena/austeri... #EndAusterity #GenderJustice #Egypt #IMF #EconomicReform

🚨 Africa is paying the price for austerity. Health workers can’t make ends meet. Teachers are earning half of what they used to. Public services are collapsing. This isn’t reform — it’s harm. #EndAusterity #PeopleOverProfits

📣 New report alert: Austerity isn’t just bad policy — it’s deadly. @actionaiduk.bsky.social'slatest report, The Human Cost of Public Cuts, reveals the devastating impact of austerity on people’s lives, especially women and marginalised communities🧵:

💥 Enough is enough. While billionaires hoard wealth, ordinary people carry the burden. A 2% minimum tax on the ultra-rich is common sense — and justice. We already pay our fair share. It's time they did too. Join the fight! #TaxTheRich #EndAusterity

Austerity is a political choice—one that deepens inequality & fuels climate injustice. The #RabatRoadmap from @MenaFem is a bold rejection of these failed policies. Feminist movements are charting a new path rooted in care, solidarity & justice. 🌍✊🏽 #FeministEconomics #Endausterity

🧵 1/3 🚨 Austerity is back — and it’s as dangerous as ever. Our new report “Austerity Amid Instability” reveals how EU fiscal rules fuel inequality, weaken democracy & endanger the planet. We won’t stay silent while futures are sacrificed. #EndAusterity

Austerity by Design—Not by Necessity 🧮 Under the EU’s new fiscal framework, member states face strict deficit and debt limits forcing over €100B in cuts by 2025. 📄 Full report: endausterity.org/wp-content/u... #Europe2025 #FiscalRules

New Report: €100 Billion in Austerity Cuts Across Europe 🔎 Examples: 🇫🇷 France – €20B: public hiring freeze, cuts to healthcare 🇧🇪 Belgium – €12.3B: pensions & health 🇮🇹 Italy – €20B: social protection 🇪🇸 Spain – €6.5B: education & healthcare 🇷🇴 Romania – €6B: wage caps, tax hikes
