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! | A new way of dealing with debt
As rich countries find billions of dollars from nowhere to bail out reckless bankers, it's clear the current debt system is completely unjust. An upcoming conference in Doha has a chance to change it.
| | 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.
| | Cancel Haiti's debt NOW
Haiti is in the grip of the food crisis which is currently affecting much of the world. Yet it is shelling out millions of dollars in debt repayments while its people starve.
| | 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.
| | | Stop the debt vultures
Vulture funds are private companies looking to scavenge huge profits from some of the world's poorest countries. Please take action to prevent this happening in the future.

"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 |
