In May 1998 70,000 people formed a human chain in Birmingham to demand that the G8 drop the debt. Ten years later some debts have been cancelled, and many lives have been transformed. But the debt crisis is not over.

Jubilee Debt Campaign UK are holding a special event at the Birmingham International Convention Centre on Sunday 18th May to mark the 10th anniversary of the human chain.

It will celebrate what the Jubilee 2000 and MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaigns have achieved on debt, and demand further action. A fast-moving presentation will inform, inspire and energise young and old to pick up the baton and take new steps on the journey to justice.

Jubilee Scotland will be taking part on the day and would like to know if anyone from Scotland would like to attend (especially if you took part in the human chain in 1998). Depending on numbers we will be organising transport down to Birmingham for the day, so get in touch if you're interested.

 

The University of Birmingham is also holding a conference on 16 and 17 May to support the city's celebration of the 10th anniversary of Birmingham's G8 meeting in 1998.
