Re: Jubilee Act for Responsible Lending and Expanded Debt Cancellation (HR 2634)

A vote on the Jubilee Act for Responsible Lending and Expanded Debt Cancellation (HR 2634) is scheduled for Tuesday, April 15 in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Jubilee Act would expand debt cancellation to more poor countries that need it to combat poverty and provide adequate social services.

Call on your member of Congress to vote ‘yes’ on this important piece of bipartisan legislation, which would take an important step toward eradicating poverty.

For more information and a call script please have a look at our previous action alert.

Visits, e-mails, phone calls, faxes and letters are all good ways to contact your legislators. E-mails, phone calls and faxes are good for time-sensitive issues. Postal mail travels slowly in the Capitol, but letters have long-term impact. Be sure to include your mailing address in all correspondence to confirm your residency in a particular district and state.

We would be grateful for copies of your correspondence and any responses you receive! Please send them to
