What Can I Do?

Some Suggestions for Personal Action

• Commit to regular prayer about the debt issue. Go to our prayer page for suggested materials.
• Investigate the Scriptures surrounding Jubilee -- either on your own or with others. Some suggested guides are in the resources section.
• Join the Jubilee Debt Campaign email list. You'll receive updates and notice of campaigning actions you can take.If there's a local JDC group near you, join it. If not, what about starting one?
• Go to the JDC "Act Now" webpage and take part in an email campaign action.
• Dig deeper! Research some particular aspects of the debt issue. (You can find resources for research on our campaigns and further information pages). The research will make you better able to campaign and lobby.
• Use your information to lobby your MP (or other politicians)
• Write to your local newspaper, reminding people that debt still IS an issue and explaining why. Or . . .
  
• Be dramatic! Debt is an issue that has a dramatic effect on the lives of people in poor countries -- show this with some drama in the streets or in a particular venue. Clear visual statements often get coverage that words alone won't.
