Jubilee for Justice petition continues to grow. more and more people are signing up on our paper chain links and even celebrate the completion of each chain by taking photos and wearing them at each event.
The Methodist Birmingham District Synod saw Rev Bill Anderson wearing some of the paper chains beside the Faith in Action banner which had been made by the women attending a multi faith workshop earlier in the year. The hand sewn red chains were another novel way of raising awareness through art.
Dozens of Methodist clergy have now signed the Faith leaders letter to the PM. The total number from across many different faith groups stands at approximately 250 persons.
The Zimbabwean Fellowship meeting at Selly Oak Birmingham also signed up in large numbers. Inspired by reading the report on Debt in Zimbabwe.
Do please get in touch if we can have space at one of your meetings to collect more signatures and make this a meaningful Jubilee year for all.
The target is 15,000 chain links with lots more photos.
Following the UK Faith leaders.

The Jubilee for Justice campaign mentioned in previous posts is now growing fast.
There has been wonderful surge of support from 135 Faith leaders in the first few days. You can see the ever growing list of names HERE
Thousands of citizens are following the initial lead of the faith leaders and signing both on line and in the form of paper chains
calling for the true meaning of Jubilee to be followed.
Several articles have appeared in the faith press and main media outlet such as the Guardian but we need you to help us spread the word.
It would be particularly good to have the support of Dharmic faith groups and the Muslim community in coming weeks. Please do let us have your comments on ways we can expand the reach of Jubilee for Justice.
