"Birmingham to Gleneagles"

It's been a long journey since the G7 leaders were confronted by mass peaceful debt campaigners at the Birmingham summit in 1998. Promises have been made, but despite apparent good will and success stories of countries qualifying for debt relief, much remains to be done. The journey for the poorest countries has been painfully slow with false starts and more rhetoric than reality.

The Debt Campaign really started in 1998 and to mark the journey we would like to make the link between Birmingham then and Gleneagles in 2005.

What better way to do this than a bike ride?!?.

We'll be providing entertainment as we go and campaigning to keep the focus of the leaders of the richest countries in the world (including GB) on their (and our) responsibilities to the poorest people in the world.

Would you like to join us for all or part of the journey? Or could we pass through your community and heighten awareness as we go? Get in touch with the office or Jubileecycle2005@fsmail.net to let us know and we'll keep you informed of our plans.
