Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt

This is a publication that comes out every two months to summarise recent and forthcoming actions in the International Campaign on Illegitimate Debt carried out by activists across the world. It aims to publicise the
actions and give opportunities for more people to get involved to challenge illegitimate debts and the structures
which lead to them.
The bulletin is produced by Jubilee South, Jubilee USA, Eurodad, and CADTM
