Jubilee Mobilization to Cancel the Debt, Now!
Interfaith Prayer Service and Vigil at US Treasury Department

End Corporate Rule: Global Struggles Against the IMF and World Bank
September 25-30, 2002

* * * * * * *
Updated information and A DOWNLOADABLE FLYER is available now at
http://www.jubileeusa.org/ or call 202-783-0129.
Before these events, some of our partners from the Global South will be
touring the US and Canada speaking out about their experiences of
globalization and debt. They will share the work that they are doing to
create an alternative world. Contact the Jubilee office if you would like
one of these tours to come to your town.
Why come to Washington?
------------------------------------------
There are 1.5 million reasons to come to Washington in September. This
year 1.5 million children will be returning to school in Tanzania. This is
a direct result of savings from debt relief and activism to abolish World
Bank imposed school fees. Just think what kind of world we could create
with full and immediate debt cancellation! Join us to create that world
this September!
We are calling all people of faith and conscience to join us for an
interfaith service and candlelight vigil to bear witness to the Jubilee
vision of liberation and justice. This event will be entirely nonviolent
and safe for all ages. We will pray together, sing together, hear from
international speakers and act for an end to the unjust and illegitimate
debt enslaving entire nations. All are welcome.
It is time to lift our voices and let the world know that people of faith
and conscience are still engaged and we are not satisfied!
End Corporate Rule: Global Struggles Against the IMF and World Bank
September 25-September 30, 2002
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teach-ins, rallies and vigils are planned from September 25- September 30,
2002. Panels and workshops about issues and action will be combined with a
film festival that will culminate
in a grand event on Friday night. This will be a great time for learning
from our partners and sharing our own work for justice. Please come and
share your passion and knowledge. This event will be sponsored by Jubilee,
50 Years is Enough Network, Center for Economic Justice and Essential
Action.
These events will culminate in a large mobilization, rally and march on
Saturday the 28th of September. Please join us!
Debt is Not Done. Cancel the Debt, Now!
------------------------------------------------
Debt cancellation has proven to work in providing education, health care
and
programs to fight HIV/AIDS. We are saving lives and futures.
Yet the current debt relief plan is failing to resolve the debt crisis.
Only 6 countries have finished the World Bank and IMF designed initiative
since it started in 1996. More than twenty countries are held up due to
harmful IMF conditions. Over half of the countries in line for relief will
continue to pay more on debt than health for their citizens even after the
program!
AND countries are required to be in a current IMF loan agreement
in order to qualify for relief!
Don't let the World Bank and IMF pull the wool over our eyes with their
failed debt relief program. We need full debt cancellation now without
further delays or World Bank and IMF conditions!
Why a Vigil the US Treasury Department?
----------------------------------------------------
The United States Treasury Department directs our policy at the World Bank
and IMF. Often the United States Treasury has blocked progress on deeper
debt cancellation or changes in harmful policies. Prior to the Bank and
Fund?s annual meetings, we will gather at the center of US power in these
institutions and call for jubilee debt cancellation and an end to harmful
economic policies.
We Need YOU to Make it a Success
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We need YOUR presence to make these events a success. It is your voice that
will make these events valuable!
We also critically need all kinds of volunteers from around the country to
help promote the events, organize transportation, make phone calls and plan
logistics. Unfortunately, some key tasks will be left undone without
volunteers. We
need YOU!
Please call us for more information and to learn how to get involved: Mara
