Friends,
Jubilee USA's Eric LeCompte addressed a special session of the United Nations on coronavirus recovery on Tuesday. Eric articulated the global policies that need to move forward to lift the vulnerable, ensure the developing world can access healthcare and for all of us to be protected from financial crisis that rivals the Great Depression.
In his UN speech, Eric raises the need for emergency United Nations Security Council action, tackling inequality and corruption and changing laws to protect Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Ghana and all countries from debt crisis.

The speech promoted news ideas that are gaining momentum to confront the health and economic impacts of the coronavirus. The address received in-depth and featured coverage the you read in Associated Press, Fox News and the Washington Post.
Our Jubilee USA UN remarks highlight that we can emerge from this crisis with hope, more resilience and more inclusive global society.

Thanks to your support and partnership, our coronavirus campaigns are moving forward with the United Nations, G7, G20 and White House.
Thousands of you signed our petitions. More than 130 groups from the largest Christian and Jewish groups to the AFL-CIO signed our statement on debt, transparency and crisis response policies to world leaders. Recently, Eric spoke to National Public Radio's Marketplace about how the crisis could drive 60 million more people into extreme poverty and that we must take action.
In the coming days and weeks, we'll depend on you to act with us as we move the G20 in July.
Gratefully,
Zach Conti
