Take action
Determined action over the years has won many victories for the debt movement, turning debt cancellation itself from something the world's most powerful nations refused to consider into a reality for many poor countries. But much more is needed.
Act now! | Tell the UK to clean up global finance
The UN financial crisis summit from 24-26 June in New York is a chance to help protect poor countries from financial turmoil. Please ask the UK government to put people first at the summit. | | | Stop the debt vultures
Vulture funds are private companies looking to scavenge huge profits from some of the world's poorest countries. Please ask your MP to take action to prevent this happening in the future. | | Pick up the pace
Debt relief is coming too slowly, and is too limited, for millions of people living in poverty. Please ask the UK government to get things moving.
| | Indonesia: Drop arms debt!
Indonesia is still paying the UK millions in debt from arms loans made to the former dictator, General Suharto. It’s time the Indonesian people stopped paying for their own oppression.

"Thank you all for what the Jubilee movement worldwide has done to ensure that poor countries like mine do not have to choose between the life of a child dying of a preventable disease and the servicing of an external debt that, ultimately, is not payable anyway."
President Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania |
