I’m already excited about next year, friend. 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, just like Jubilee 2000 was, when campaigners in this community won a massive $130 billion of debt cancellation for lower-income countries. Twenty five years on, we once again have an opportunity to thrust the call for debt cancellation into the limelight.
Building on the progress we’ve made together in 2024, we’ll be using this chance to push the government to pass a new debt justice law and force unscrupulous lenders to cancel debts for lower-income countries in crisis.
Our allies in the global south tell us what a difference this would make to their lives and those of the millions living on the frontline of the debt crisis – freeing up money for basic services like healthcare and education. As campaigners in the UK, we are in a unique position to be able to make it happen.
We’ve already made so much progress this year, I’m excited about our campaign next year and I’m so glad to have you there with us as we take the next steps together.
Thank you for everything you do to end unjust debt.
In solidarity,
Heidi Chow
Executive Director – Debt Justice (formerly Jubilee Debt Campaign)
