Call your representative about the Jubilee Act - Hello! My name is Jessica Jones and I am from Houston, Texas. I am a constituent of Representative XXX.
- I am calling to ask Representative XXX to co-sponsor the Jubilee Act or H.R. 1130.
- The Jubilee Act would require the U.S. Treasury Department to work in all appropriate settings to achieve 100 percent cancellation of the debts of 50 nations by international financial institutions.
- Complete debt cancellation is needed for the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. Currently half of all African countries spend more on debt service than on health care.
- Debt relief works! After the limited amount of debt cancellation given so far, Uganda has doubled its school enrollment and Mozambique has vaccinated 500,000 children.
- Does Representative xxx support the Jubilee Act? Will s/he sign on as a co-sponsor? When would be a good time for me to follow up with you regarding the Representative’s position on the Jubilee Act?
- Set a specific date and make sure you actually follow up!
