Dear Friend,

In recent months some of the most impoverished countries in the world have experienced a massive rise in the price of basic foods, which threatens serious long-term impacts on country stability, hunger, malnutrition and poverty.

The lack of affordable food has caused riots and political turmoil. While some Haitians are reportedly eating dirt to quell their hunger, their government is forced to pay almost $1 million each week in debt service to wealthy banks that were supposedly established to fight poverty.

Please sign the petition to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Jr. now ahead of the G-8 Finance Ministers meeting, where finance ministers of the world's richest nations are meeting to discuss the food crisis. Urge Sec. Paulson to support accelerated debt cancellation for Haiti and in the meantime an immediate moratorium on the country’s debt service payments at this meeting.

You can sign the petition at:

Jubilee USA will deliver this petition before he leaves.

On behalf of the billions of people who are suffering the affects of the global food crisis, thank you for taking action.
