Our petition asking world leaders to forgive Haiti’s debt currently has over 197,000 signers– a truly staggering number. As we stand on the doorstep of a remarkable 200,000 signers, we’re also grateful for the support of– who else– the Barenaked Ladies who recently plugged the petition on their blog.
The immediate cancellation of Haiti’s near-$1 billion debt would give the country a chance for real and lasting recovery. Later this week finance ministers will be meeting in the Arctic Canadian town of Iqaluit where we plan on delivering our petition. Please forward this to your friends and family and help push us over the 200k threshold so that we can make the biggest impact possible.
Thank you for all you do.
