Dear Friend,
Thanks to you and the thousands of phone calls you generated, our Jubilee debt "Champerty" bill passed the Senate. The New York Assembly has extended their through tonight and your pressure and our Jubilee team on the ground here in Albany is pushing Assembly Speaker Heastie to move our bill to the floor.
Today, the average developing country spends more on debt than health, education and all social issues combined. Debt crises endanger US retirement and pensions. When our trading partners are in crisis - it impacts what we pay at the gas pump and what we buy at the store.
Because of you, Republicans and Democrats continue to champion our work. As the US Government is hosting the G20 this year, we won support from US Treasury to expand our debt relief and development efforts.
Your actions were how we stopped predatory "vulture" funds in New York in 2012 and 2014. Your support means that we've won more than $800 billion in aid and relief for developing countries. Because of you, every G20 meeting has made a global economy that is more transparent and that works better for all of us.
Gratefully,
