In the fall, the G20 approved the “Common Framework for Debt Treatment beyond the Debt Service Suspension Initiative.” Up to 73 of the world’s poorest countries could seek support under the mechanism."This is the first test of the G20 debt reduction process and the process must deliver serious relief for Chad," stated Eric LeCompte, the Executive Director of the religious development group Jubilee USA Network.

They are demanding he put an end to plans for the Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission to build a storage unit over the burial ground.

Anarchist Federation (Greece): To the anarchist movement and everybody in the USA that participates in the struggle

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 06/07/2020 - 15:54

To the anarchist movement and everybody in the USA that participates in the struggle, to everybody that is out in the streets fighting racism and authority.It is with excitement, suspense, hope and sorrow that we watch what is transpiring in the streets of the cities of the US after the racist murder of African American George Floyd. Our thoughts are with you, our solidarity will be expressed in action from here. You are the ones struggling in the heart of a superpower that, along with others, dominate the planet. You are in what the rest of the world sees as the “centre of the world”.

Did Your Favorite Democratic Party Candidate for President get Excluded from Debates?

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 12/31/2019 - 02:59

Could Democratic Party candidates for President of the United States of America, who have been excluded from debates jointly controlled by PBS, join the complaint of an independent candidate for U.S. Congress against Vermont PBS?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WILL 2020 BRING FAIRNESS TO POLITICS?
I want all Democratic Party candidates for President of the
