End the Vulture Culture Update
Dear friend,
It’s good news on the Vulture Funds bill.
After your amazing response to our urgent action last week, Andrew Gwynne MP - number three on the Private Members' Ballot - has agreed to sponsor a bill targeting Vulture Funds.
This is a huge step forward for our campaign.
As always, however, it's not over yet. There are several stages of a Private Member's Bill making its way through Parliament where we’ll need your help, to make sure enough MPs support the bill for it to become law. And it’ll be a race against time to get it through before the election.
But we couldn’t have taken this latest step without your efforts. If you forwarded our urgent action last week to your friends, please pass on this good news as well. The bigger our network of supporters and activists, the stronger a force for change we can be. To sign up to future action alerts, as well as postal mailings from Jubilee Debt Campaign, go to http://www.jubileedebtcampaign.org.uk/signup.
Congratulations – you did it!
Best wishes,
Jonathan Stevenson
Campaigns Officer
PS. Of course, this bill doesn’t undo the $20 million awarded to two Vulture Funds from Liberia last week. We’re looking into the Hamsah vs Liberia case in more detail, and will keep you posted on anything more we can do.
In the mean time, you might be interested in the statement from the Liberian Finance Minister about the case.
