Activist leaders and representatives from 24 countries across the globe joined in the Fight for Alternatives Global Assembly in Manila from September 4-7, 2024.
Lidy Nacpil, Coordinator of Asian People’s Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD) said: “Across the world, people are suffering from the effects of inequality caused by historical and continuing exploitation from colonialism to neoliberalism.”
“The challenges Global South people face can only be addressed by breaking free from the systems that benefit only the few and exploits the well being of people and the welfare of our planet,” she added.
The assembly “resolutely stands with the millions of citizens who are acting individually and collectively as part of the 99% to force a reinvention and creation of a new economic system that serves everyone, not just the wealthy few.”
