Almost ten years ago, I was one of the 70,000 people who formed the human chain in B.ham. It was an unforgetable day; we witnessed an incredible passion for liberating the world's poorest countries from the burden of debt.
More debt cancellation is still needed, as is a radical new process for dealing with debt. My passion ignited in May 1998 still burns just as brightly today and The Journey to Justice event in B.ham in May 2008 gives us a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate our ongoing passion to the world’s politicians and to call for further action on debt.

 Nelson Mandela in his 2005 Make Poverty History speech to the Trafalgar Square crowd said :-
"As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest. Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom."

If you feel called to be part of a great blossoming generation, then please come along on Sunday May 18th and do come along to some of the
many events being held in the run up to the Journey to Justice event.

 
If like me, you feel an urge to do more and be a part of this world transforming campaign, then please join us for our next working party meeting on Monday 18th Feb, 10:30am at Methodist Central Mission, 208 Corporation Street, Birmingham, B4 6QW.  Everyone welcome.

I would like to thank Michael Taylor for all his hard work in leading the West Mids JDC group over the years. He is an impossible act to follow and it is a daunting task. Thankfully I am blessed with some wonderful campaigners, who give me the confidence
to believe that we can truly be that great generation which Nelson Mandela urges us all to become.
Many thanks for your ongoing support.
