Partners,

This week we are delivering hundreds of thousands of your petitions from 160 countries to the IMF and World Bank during their annual meetings in Washington DC.

Following the lead of our Jewish members, partners and founders - we will blow the Shofar in front of the IMF and World Bank tomorrow in an inter-religious celebration. The root word of Jubilee is Yovel, the Hebrew word for the sound of the Shofar - the ram's horn used to announce a new year. Starting at the G7 in Canada this past June, several of our rabbis began this tradition of blowing the Shofar and marking the next 5 years of our campaigns with 200 organizations.

Sign up your family, organization, congregation, faith community or group to hold a Jubilee event and blow a horn, a bugle or a shofar at a Jubilee event before the end of the year.

This is an opportunity to gather petitions and educate on the next 5 years of our efforts. You can use this background flyer on how to hold an event this year, before the end of the Jubilee Year on January 6th, 2026. When you sign-up we will send you prayers and action resources. Our next global petition delivery will be at the South Africa G20 Summit at the end of November.

As we gather this week in Washington DC, all over the world partners are celebrating Jubilee week, October 12th - 19th, with creative actions to move world leaders on debt relief, economic aid and changes to the financial system to protect the poor. Ahead of the IMF, World Bank and G20 meetings - Pope Leo - issued his first official teaching encouraging world leaders to make economic decisions that lift and protect the poor.

Sign up now to organize a gathering of sound and signing petitions between now and January 6th, 2026 - announcing 5 years of Jubilee campaigns in 160 countries.

Blessings,
