Strike Debt to Abolish $5.7 Million in Medical Debt!

[OB Everyone]

              STRIKE DEBT TO ABOLISH $5.7 MILLION IN MEDICAL
             DEBT!  STRIKE DEBT MEMBER ANN LARSON TO SPEAK AT
            OB COMMUNITY GATHERING ABOUT DEBT ON MONDAY 11/19


Last night  Strike Debt,  an off-shoot  of Occupy  Wall Street,  had a
telethon in  NYC to  raise funds for  their Rolling  Jubilee Campaign.
For every dollar  raised, they could buy and cancel  $20 of distressed
medical  debt. The  total raised  was  in excess  of $280,000.  Occupy
Boston (on vote  of GA) contributed $500 (the means  to cancel $10,000
in  debt).   The Rolling  Jubilee  is  one  of several  very  exciting
projects of Strike Debt.

Want to know more?

This Monday, November 19, Strike Debt  member Ann Larson will speak at
the  Occupy Boston  Community Gathering  about Debt.   This will  be a
great opportunity  to learn more  about their project,  principles and
campaigns, and to  think about what kinds of actions  and campaigns we
can  do in  Boston  about debt.   The meeting  will  include time  for
interactive discussions on issues and action planning.

The details: 6-9:30 p.m. (dinner at  6) at Community Church of Boston,
565  Boylston St,  Boston (in  Copley Square).   For more  information
email: info at occupyboston.org
