Calling ALL Angels--and all new angels too!
The IMF turns 60 on April 21, but I'm sure not celebrating. Check it out below to order "unhappybirthday cards" that you can sign, have signing parties for, get lots and lots of them signed. Then mail 'em BACK to Jubilee, cause on April 21, I'm headed down to the IMF/World Bank to serve cake and deliver all your cards to call attention to the destructive legacy of these organizations! All angels in the area or angels willing to travel welcome at the un-party!
(NB--the action alert says to print the cards, but we have a lot of them, so just email me cduckwo1@gmu.edu, PM me or email Neil at Jubilee (neil@jubileeusa.org) and we'll get you some.)
Here's Jubilee's Action Alert. http://jubileeusa.org
Sign An Unhappy Birthday Card to the IMF/World Bank:
It?s No Time for A Party! It?s Time to Drop the Debt
2004 is the 60th Birthday of the IMF/World Bank. We at Jubilee believe that it's no time for a party to celebrate the IMF/World Bank. The institutions have left many harmful legacies over the past 60 years, but perhaps none so debilitating from the perspective of human development and justice as the DEBT. Today Africa pays $15 billion annually to the IMF, World Bank, and rich countries -- more than it gets in aid or new loans.
You can:
Print some unhappy birthday cards to get signed in your community, church, or campus. If you are willing to collect signatures and then return them to us, Click here and then print the page. Make photocopies. Use colored paper. Print one-sided and fold in quarters, or print both sides and cut. Then be sure to mail them to us by April 14th so that we can release them at our April 21st Unhappy Birthday Party...
Sign an unhappy birthday card right now on our website! Click this link to sign now. We?ll print our your name, city, state, and country on a birthday card and deliver it to the World Bank on April 21st.
Please note that we are no longer accepting orders for hard copies of the unhappy birthday cards. We had an incredible response -- we mailed out over 20,000 cards, but we are directing folks to sign cards electronically at this time. Thanks for all your support, and for your understanding.
Whether you received some of the cards from us, or made them yourself, be sure to mail them to us by April 14th at this address:
