Activists and Campaigners! The way we communicate the issues we work on impacts how people, think, feel and act on them.

It is time that we move away from the damaging language and imagery of aid, charity and so-called “international development”, and instead create a new narrative – one that builds solidarity and demands social justice.

At Health Poverty Action, we have been working with our allies to create the resources and tools we all need to achieve this.

You can find all of our resources below, including two posters and our exciting toolkit “A practical guide for communicating global justice and solidarity: An alternative to the language of development, aid and charity” which provides the practical advice and principles you need to address the root causes of poverty and build global solidarity through your communications.

These resources were produced by Framing Matters for Health Poverty Action, in association with the Public Interest Research Centre and the following members of the Progressive Development Forum; Medact, NEON, PHM UK, PHM West and Central Africa and Viva Salud.
