“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” --- Proverbs 29:2
As communities of faith, we are grateful for your public service and we pray for your efforts daily. We are grateful for the efforts you've supported of Jubilee USA Network to build a more accountable and transparent economic system.
We write to urge you to support legislative actions in line with our faith - Jubilee legislation that promotes transparency, fights corruption and protects the vulnerable.
In particular, we invite you to cosponsor the Corporate Transparency Act and the ILLICIT Cash Act, which reveal the true owners of anonymous shell corporations to law enforcement.
- stops ways that human traffickers hide and make profits
- prevents the exploitation of vulnerable communities in the United States through Medicaid and Medicare fraud
- curbs the theft of development and debt relief aid
- reveals theft from corrupt foreign governments of public monies
- can help raise revenue in the developing world
Gratefully,
