The Rolling Jubilee Transparency Page

http://rollingjubilee.org/transparency/#debtbuys



The Rolling Jubilee Fund ("RJ&quot is a Non-Profit 501(c)(4) Organization formed in October, 2012 as a project of Strike Debt, with the exclusive mission of buying and abolishing debt.

RJ is currently comprised of a Board of Directors ("the Board&quot , three designated sub-committees and a host of volunteers (many of whom are from Strike Debt and Occupy Wall Street networks). No board member or volunteer is compensated for their work on RJ. Brokers and web developers have been paid, as they are not volunteers working for the cause but individuals in areas of expertise offering their services, often well below market value.

RJ is possible because of the labor of many volunteers; The Board is made up of a few volunteers who have stepped up to be publicly accountable for managing finances and carrying out the mission of the organization.

RJ is committed to operating with transparency, integrity and in the spirit of the Strike Debt principles. The Board has agreed to a policy of transparency and openness while being careful not to compromise the complicated work of carrying out its mission. This page is an attempt to practice the principles we preach. It contains the following information about RJ, all of which will be updated regularly.

Operations, policies & protocols
Individual debt buys

In Solidarity,

The Board

struggling Americans, why Congress is such a failure in doing the same thing, especially considering it is their job to help the people they ask to elect them.
