Friends and co - workers:

I just sent a message urging my representative to support the Jubilee Act, which will relieve some of the debt that keeps many developing nations trapped in a cycle of poverty.

 

And this just isn't about poverty, but AIDS as well.  

 

Debt is the kind of crisis that can hold back an entire continent. Sub-Saharan Africa pays $13 billion in debt service to wealthy nations and financial institutions every year, almost enough to pay for life-saving drugs to reverse the AIDS crisis that claims 7,000 lives each day.

 

Just think how important this bill is and what it could do in the future; come on you can help this important bill move forward by taking action here: http://www.one.org/40days/

Thanks!
