Jubilee USA Network Education and Action Packet

April 2005
The Jubilee USA Network has reprinted its basic Education and Action packet. The attractively designed folder includes basic educational materials such as an overview of the arguments for debt cancellation; a history of the debt crisis, and accessible fact sheets on structural adjustment programs, odious debt, and debt and global AIDS. It also includes action materials with advice on how to start a Jubilee local group, work with the media, write letters to elected officials, and engage with the World Bank Bonds Boycott!

The full color kits cost $10. Send your request for orders to coord@jubileeusa.org, or mail a check to Jubilee USA Network, 222 E. Capitol St., NE, Washington, DC, 20003. Please allow 2-3 weeks for us to process your order.
