Drop the Debt

Drop the Debt was a short-lived British NGO formed after the dissolution of Jubilee 2000. Using Jubilee 2000's best known slogan (and what was often assumed to be that movement's name) as its name, Drop the Debt existed to work in the run-up to the G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy, and ensure that debt relief was on the agenda at that meeting. Founding staff included Jamie Drummond and Lucy Matthew who went on to form DATA with the support of Bono, Bobby Shriver and other high profile figures.
