Jubilee Conference in the Windy City, June 15-17


May 24th, 2007 5:00 PM EST
By Jeremy John, Jubilee USA

ONE partner, Jubilee USA, is working to make poverty history by advocating for debt cancellation for impoverished Asian, Latin American, and African nations. Debt cancellation would free up more than $200 billion for developing nations. The best part is that the money must be used for poverty reduction programs by countries receiving debt cancellation. That means $200 billion for clean water, education, and health care programs to millions of people, giving impoverished countries an economic boost that could bring them out of long-lasting recessions that have cost millions of lives.

Are you interested in learning more? Join the Jubilee USA Network from June 15-17 in Chicago for our second annual grassroots conference – Deepening our Roots, Creating Community, Building a Movement. The conference is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the international debt crisis and campaigns to challenge global poverty. Come to acquire the skills and knowledge we need to build an effective movement for economic justice for the world’s impoverished countries!

The Grassroots Conference will kick off on Friday, June 15 at 7 p.m. at the Holy Name Cathedral in downtown Chicago with an exciting opening event featuring Amy Goodman, host of Pacifica Radio’s Democracy Now! and Tanzanian political cartoonist Godfrey “Gado” Mwampembwa. This opening event is completely free and open to the public. Even if you can’t make it for the whole conference, plan to join us on Friday night to hear Amy and Gado share their perspectives on journalism and economic justice activism North and South!

Interested in joining us? Check out the Conference Schedule and List of Scheduled Workshops and plan to join us in Chicago as we build the skills and knowledge we need to strengthen the movement for global economic justice!

Hope to see you there!
