Friends,
This year hasn't been easy. We've lost too many Jubilee USA friends this year to the coronavirus, inequality is rising and more of us are struggling.
In spite of this, we seized this year to fight for our survival, to protect the poor and our planet. We won multiple coronavirus and stimulus campaigns throughout 2020.
From the Wall Street Journal to Fox News to the Financial Times, the New York Times and your local paper - this year, Jubilee USA appeared in hundreds of thousands of newspapers and shows on our debt, tax, trade, transparency, coronavirus response and Puerto Rico efforts.
Below you can find a sampling of how the global media told our Jubilee USA 2020 story.
Gratefully,
Zach
