Drop the Debt

At the G8 Summit in Cologne last year a promise was made to drop the debt
of the world's poorest countries.  That promise has not been kept.  

The G8 leaders are meeting this weekend in Okinawa (21-23 July 2000).  The
Japanese have spent an obscene $750 million on the summit.  More than they
have spent on Third World Debt.

This weekend across the world groups are holding vigils, a G8 Summit Watch. 
As part of our contribution to G8 Summit Watch we are asking that you
e-mail or fax the G8 leaders and tell them to Drop the Debt.
