"Must we starve our children to pay our debts?"
Julius Nyerere, former President of Tanzania

Today, millions of men, women and children around the world are literally starving for debt cancellation.

The 2007 Jubilee Act (HR 2634) would provide expanded debt cancellation for many countries that were not included in the 2005 G8 agreement and need debt cancellation to address extreme poverty.

The Jubilee Act has been reintroduced. Now it is up to us to get it passed!

Moving the Jubilee Act through Congress is the central goal of this fall's Cancel Debt Fast, a rolling 40-day fast for debt cancellation that will take place from September 6 to October 15, 2007.

REGISTER FOR THE FAST & TELL CONGRESS
YOU'RE HUNGRY FOR DEBT JUSTICE!
