Dear Friend,
As the United States prepares to host world leaders for the 2026 G20, our Jubilee efforts feature high on this year's G20 agenda. Over the coming months we'll need your help as we urge world leaders to take more action on debt, jobs and economic stability.
As we mobilize our national and international Jubilee community to join us during this year's US G20 meetings, please make a tax-deductible gift to support these critical efforts. When you make a contribution now, it will be matched and doubled.
In 2026, we'll build on all we achieved this past year. Here are some of our 2025 achievements:
- With Pope Francis and interfaith religious leaders, we launched Jubilee Year 2025, we set into motion Jubilee campaigns in over 160 countries for the next five years. We supported major events and pilgrimages at the Canada G7, South Africa G20, IMF and United Nations to move world leaders on debt relief and aid to end poverty.
-
With key interfaith, development, labor and business partners, we advanced commitments from world leaders and the US government to support debt relief. With the US Conference of Catholic Bishops we wrote to President Trump to support debt relief policies that stabilize food and fuel prices, protect our economy, workers and taxpayers and address poverty and development abroad.
-
At the UN Financing for Development Conference in Sevilla, Spain, we joined world leaders and 70 heads of state and won commitments on debt relief, responsible lending and borrowing, tackling corruption and new debt relief processes.
-
Organizing Nobel laureates, former ministers and the world’s most notable experts, we published and presented high-level IMF and World Bank recommendations to ensure development, climate and transparency are part of debt decisions and at the IMF, World Bank, G7, G20 and United Nations.
-
In the New York State legislature, our bill to stop predatory “vulture funds,” passed the Senate and now awaits passage in the Assembly so the Governor can sign into law.
-
We continued implementation of our Jubilee Corporate Transparency Act, a pivotal tool to curtail human trafficking, protect aid and prevent corruption and tax evasion.
-
We organized and supported more than 100 African faith leaders to influence G20, G7, UN, IMF and World Bank processes.
-
Following our multi-year advocacy with Puerto Rico and US religious leaders to expand social programs on the island, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation to increase food aid to the vulnerable. We partnered with legal experts and religious leaders to prevent the island from paying out billions in debt to creditors, allowing recovery from hurricane, earthquake, economic shocks and the child poverty epidemic.
-
We moved US and G20 leadership to support initiatives expanding development bank loans and grants, which could translate to hundreds of billions of development aid.
-
Our Jubilee efforts appeared in hundreds of thousands of news outlets around the world.
