Face
Up to World Debt
Jubilee Scotland
is calling on you to support our campaign for the cancellation of the debts
of the world's poorest countries by adding to a national Face up to World
Debt photo-petition.
For this to make an impact we need schools, churches, community groups and
interested individuals across Scotland to make their own photo-petitions.
We want you to collect the photos and send them to your MP. The idea is to
swamp Scottish MPs and their party leaders with photos so that they have to
take action.
How
to make a photo petition
To create a Face up to World Debt photo petition
we suggest you take head and shoulder photos of you and your fellow supporters.
You can use these easy to follow steps:
1. To provide a frame for your photos, mount a Face up to World Debt poster
on some card and cut out the printed face montage. Contact the
office for your poster and campaign materials.
2. Write "Name of Indvidual Says:" on a piece of paper and stick it to the bottom of the poster.
3.
Ask supporters to put their head through the poster and snap their picture
it should look like this!
Once
You've Collected Your Photos
Before
you hand over your photos to your MP why not hold an exhibition of your photo-petition
in your local church, library, school or church hall?
Handing Over the Petition
Either send the photos or hand them over in person to
your MP with a letter outlining your concerns. See the take
action section for help with this. You might like to organise a hand in
event and contact your local newspaper to get press coverage.
