Are you ready to join hands to end the slavery of debt for impoverished
countries?

Have you been waiting for just the right time to get more involved?  Guess
what?! The time is now!


Join us in Washington, DC, September 26-30th, during the annual World Bank
and IMF meetings to raise your voice and call for liberation and justice for
the most impoverished people.  There will be first rate teach-ins, an
interfaith prayer service and vigil, rallies and more!  We need you now to
keep the momentum alive.

WOULD YOU JOIN A CHARTERED FLIGHT TO DC FOR THE SEPTEMBER MOBILIZATION?

For the first time in our history, Jubilee USA is looking into chartering
flights or booking bulk seats from major cities across the US to Washington,
DC for the September interfaith vigil and mobilization.  WE WILL ONLY DO IT
IF THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST FROM YOU!

If you are interested, please visit our website and fill out the form:
http://www.jubileeusa.org  Respond by AUGUST 15th.

PLEASE SEND TO ALL EMAIL LISTS AND CONTACTS.  SPREAD THE WORD.  WE WANT
EVERYONE COMING TO DC FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO CATCH THE JUBILEE FLIGHT!

-----------------------------------------------------------

This will be a great opportunity to travel together in solidarity and lower
trip costs to Washington for the mobilization during the annual World Bank
and IMF meetings.  Please check with members of your local groups and others
you think would be interested in participating in this humanitarian event.
If you, or anyone you know, would like to join a chartered flight to DC in
September, please complete the below form and email it in.

The proposed cities right now are: Los Angeles or San Francisco, Denver,
Seattle, Portland, Cleveland, Chicago and Boston.  More cities could be
added, depending upon the responses we receive.

September is fast approaching and so is the deadline for your participation!
In order to get a better idea of the number of people interested in taking
advantage of this, we need your responses by THURSDAY, AUGUST 15th.

Please don’t miss out! Be an active part of these events and join us in
Washington, DC! The more people that want to take advantage of this unique
opportunity, the more negotiating power we have to lower the per person
ticket prices, not only with the airlines, but with hotel accommodations as
well.

Go to http://www.jubileeusa.org to fill out the form and get more information.
We look forward to hearing from you.
