Take Action for IMF Responsibility

Dear Armando, Take action and tell your Senators and Representative to support legislative measures for responsible lending and borrowing to benefit the world's poorest and most vulnerable. The US government can implement concrete principles of responsible lending and borrowing to promote democracy, combat corruption and ensure sustainable development for developing countries. Please send a message right now to your Senate and House Members telling them to support legislative measures for responsible lending and borrowing at the IMF, World Bank and other International Financial Institutions.  The US is the world's single largest financier of the developing world and the largest contributor to the IMF and the World Bank. Because of the efforts of Jubilee USA, the US government has endorsed the voluntary principles of responsible lending and borrowing that were developed by the United Nations. We need to ensure that future loans to low-income countries are beneficial, contracted transparently, are repayable and are supported by the citizens of those countries. Urge your Members of Congress to support legislative measures for responsible lending and borrowing today.  In Solidarity, Andrew Dusek Policy and Advocacy Fellow Jubilee USA Network http://www.jubileeusa.org/home.html
