What you can do immediately.
Tell the Treasury Secretary what's on your heart by January 20, 2009!
Together we can remind the new Secretary of Treasury on his first day of work, that while dealing with the economic crises at home, we cannot ignore the needs of those living in extreme poverty throughout the world. The issues on our hearts include:
The urgency of immediate debt cancellation to address poverty in Haiti;
The need to stop the immoral practices of vulture funds that sue recipients of debt relief for huge profits;
Our responsibility to meet our commitments to fund debt relief;
The moral imperative that we address odious and illegitimate debt, and work for a new framework for responsible lending in the future
Please fill out a "What’s on Your Heart " postcard and send it to the Jubilee USA Network by January 20. Postcards are in the narthex. Or, you may sign an online postcard.
All of the messages will be delivered to the new Treasury Secretary after the inauguration on January 20.
