THE INTOLERABLE BURDEN OF DEBT Since 1998 some members of St Joseph's Justice & Peace Group have been involved with "Jubilee 2000", when 70,000 Jubilee supporters went to Birmingham to lobby the meeting of the G8 - the world's richest countries- to help focus their attention on the 3rd world debt. In 1980 the debt of the world's Southern countries amounted to $567 billion since when they have paid $3,450 billion in interest and write-offs, six times the original amount.
These Countries are now bankrupt, unable to look after the basic needs of their people. Jubilee Debt Campaign (www.cafod.org.uk)

AMNESTY INTERNAIONAL St Joseph's Justice & Peace Group took part in the Greetings Card campaign at Christmas 2002 and will do so again in 2004. Everyday Amnesty International's "Urgent Action Network" uses letters, faxes and telegrams to come to the aid of victims of human rights abuse.
