Take 5 Minutes & Urge Your Representative and Senators to Support the Jubilee Act!

SENATE CALL-IN: S2166
1. Find out who your Senator is by selecting your state from the drop down menu at www.senate.gov (upper right corner).

2. Dial 1-800-786-2663 and listen to the automated instructions or call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.

3. Ask to be connected to your Senator's office. The receptionist will answer. Introduce yourself as (your name) a constituent from (city, state).

4. I am calling today to urge Senator________ to co-sponsor S2166, the Senate version of the Jubilee Act. This bill would expand eligibility for debt cancellation to 67 impoverished countries. I urge Senator __________ to co-sponsor this important legislation. Without debt cancellation these 67 countries will not be able to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). (You can stop there, or add an additional sentence about why this issue is important to you).

5. Be sure to thank the receptionist when you are finished.

6. Email Kristin at Jubilee with the results of your call.  You can reach Kristin at kristin(at)jubileeusa.org.  This will enable us to register your Senator’s support/opposition and follow up with the office if necessary.
