 In May 1998 more than 70,000 people formed a human chain in Birmingham to demand that the G8 'drop the debt'.The scale of the protest took world leaders by surprise and proved a historic day for campaigning. As a result of consistent public pressure, $88 billion of debt has now been cancelled, and many lives have been transformed. But the debt crisis is far from over. On Sunday 18 May the Jubilee Debt Campaign is gathering people in Birmingham once again to celebrate the progress made during the Jubilee 2000 and Make Poverty History campaigns – and to demand further action on the unjust debt that still remains. There’s an fantastic line up of speakers, and lots more information here: http://www.jubileedebtcampaign.org.uk | |||
