Meet with your representative about the JUBILEE Act

We encourage you to contact members of Congress to support the JUBILEE Act while your Members are in the district for August recess. The JUBILEE Act (H.R. 1130) expresses a much broader vision for debt cancellation than the deal reached at the 2005 G-8 summit. We need to send the message that the G-8 deal was only the first step on a long journey toward global economic justice. Unlike the G-8 agreement, the JUBILEE Act would commit the U.S. to work for debt cancellation for 50 impoverished nations without devastating economic conditions. Moreover, the Act requires that debt cancellation be paid for from the IMF/World Bank
