The journey from Jubilee to Debt Justice

(View online) ([link removed])
Dear friend,

We have some exciting news to share - as of 16 May, we will be changing the name of our organisation from Jubilee Debt Campaign to Debt Justice.

We would like to invite you to our online launch party on 16 May at 6:30pm to celebrate everything we have achieved together and set out a vision of where we are going next.

This will be our new logo.

We remain a campaigning organisation that exists to stop unjust debts driving poverty and inequality. We believe change comes through building the collective power of affected communities and growing a movement of people to campaign in solidarity. Our name is changing, but our values will not.

Why have we changed our name?

As the need for debt justice grows, we needed to address some hard truths. Through surveys in the past two years, supporters like you have said that our current name is a barrier to engaging people.

In one survey 75% said the name was unclear or unhelpful.

Many are unsure of what we do, or associate the word 'Jubilee' with the monarchy. Having a name that reflects where we have come from and expresses our intent is essential.

When we asked supporters and partners, they told us that Debt Justice is the name the majority preferred, and the name that can carry our work forward into the future.

We remain committed to, and rooted in the concept of Jubilee and everything it represents - debt cancellation, celebration, hope, restoration, redistribution and justice. All of these are extremely important values and will continue to drive our campaigns. This is the start of a new chapter, and we need to build our impact and influence.

With lower income countries on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and the cost of living soaring here in the UK, we need to grow a powerful debt justice movement - changing our name at this point is crucial to mobilise new activists and supporters to take action to help end harmful debt.

Thank you so much for your support and looking forward to campaigning with you as Debt Justice.

In solidarity,
Heidi
