[Something people should know about.]
the website for "The People's Bailout" telethon
http://rollingjubilee.org/
Thursday, Nov 15th 7pm CST - "The People's Bailout" * Rolling Jubilee
( http://rollingjubilee.org/ ) is a project which buys people's debt
for pennies on the dollar, but rather than hounding the debtors to
collect it, instead retires their debt.
* It's a part of Strike Debt ( http://strikedebt.org/ ) which in turn
was started by Occupy Wall St.
