Ex-e-petitions (!)

• Petition to free Jaggi Singh from jail in Quebec City. This is no longer available but site is still active on many issues - www.rabble.ca
• Jubilee 2000 UK - the predecessor to the Drop the Dept campaign that collected a staggering 24,319,181 signatures from 166 countries in both online and paper forms (the petition has now been removed). It is now evolved into Jubilee+ and continues with many other campaigning actions - www.jubilee2000uk.org
