POPSNot charity, but justice. The UK has taken the lead in the past, but further and faster debt cancellation is urgently needed. We are calling on the Government to cancel all unpayable and unjust debts owed to it. This must include debts that arose from government-backed commercial loans, known as export credit debts. Other rich countries, companies, and institutions like the World Bank, must also pick up the pace and drop ALL the debt. Please contact your government and tell them to DROP THE DEBT! Thanks

POPSThe basics about debt The world's poorest countries pay over $100 million every day to the rich world. The UK has cancelled many debts, and been active in calling for further cancellation for the poorest – but it still holds billions in debts from other poor countries.

POPSDEBT: $88Billion cancelled, $400Billion still to go ... If you're free today - Activities from 12.30 Supporting organisations include: Christian Aid, Islamic Relief, CAFOD, Methodist Relief and Development Fund, Oxfam, World Vision, ActionAid, Practical Action, Tearfund, TUC, UNISON, National Union of Teachers. I can't believe it was 10 years ago. So many promises were made by the G8 leaders and yet there is still so far to go... People in abject poverty while the rich world grabs back thousands of dollars from debts often paid to keep corrupt leaders on the side of the west. What a wonderful world!

POPSMore Millenium Campaign News Here is some more up to date news on the subject. A lofty goal that could hit the mark if groups like the WTO and World Bank would resist accepting "poverty" as a fact of life. It only exists because of the greed of others - there is a need to share the wealth of our nations that those in power have not yet fathomed - they have yet to recognize they are a big part of the problem. My hope is that clarity and mindful action will soon reign among the leaders the politicians and the businesses alike!
