What's this about...?  ==>  Impoverished countries (40-50 of them, in
Africa, Latin America and Asia) are burdened by unpayable debt -- owed to
wealthy creditor governments, banks and agencies around the world.   They
are sacrificing their futures to pay off their debts.  Workers, women, and
the environment are all hurt.  Our global movement is saying, this madness
must stop!  We're saying there's a fair, open way to cancel debts --
through a process benefits people and empowers civil society.  Help us
insist that the US government take a strong stand for meaningful debt
relief at the G8 Summit (June 17-19 in Cologne, Germany).  ***Proclaim
Jubilee!***

Wasn't there a human chain last year?  ==>  Last year the G-8 failed to
back significant debt relief for poor countries, despite the presence of
70,000 Jubilee 2000 supporters at their summit meeting in Birmingham, UK.
This year, seven G-8 members -- including the US Government -- are bringing
competing debt relief proposals to the June G7 summit in Cologne, Germany.
Tens of thousands of Jubilee 2000 supporters (including US activists) will
be there to greet them once again, and insist that any G-8 agreement on
debt relief offer significant, not cosmetic, debt relief to impoverished,
indebted nations.  There will be human chains in the US in Kentucky...and
in Washington, DC!  Together we will make a difference. For more info
