Update on the Rolling Jubilee :/

Remember the Rolling Jubilee, the Occupy-adjacent project that raised money to buy and forgive debt? Naked Capitalism has an update on what’s been going on with the project, and it’s kiiiiinnnnnd of a bummer. Basically: They promised transparency, and they haven’t been transparent. Yves Smith tried repeatedly to get them to disclose what they’ve been up to, and came to this conclusion:

“It’s troubling to find the members of the Rolling Jubilee board try to avoid answering basic questions and living up to promises they made by taking the position, in effect, that they have good intentions and a good cause and thus aren’t required to provide much in the way of responses.”
