CALL Speaker Pelosi today AND ASK HER TO BE A CHAMPION ON IMF REFORM! Call her Washington office at (202) 225-0100.
When you speak to the receptionist, you can say:
"My name is ___________ and I'm calling from _______________[city/state]. In the conference committee on the supplemental, Speaker Pelosi has the power to be a champion for reform of the IMF's policies which have limited access to health care and education in poor nations and poor country debt relief. I urge Speaker Pelosi to include language in the conference report that ensures IMF agreements do not impose contractionary, recession-worsening policies as they currently are doing, which is resulting in rising unemployment and the closure of hospitals and schools. Thank you."
