Breaking the Chains: A vision of Jubilee

In a world where a child dies every three seconds because of poverty...

we want to see a world where:

  • poor people and poor nations are set free from poverty
  • unjust and unpayable international debt is cancelled
  • debt relief is not used as an instrument of power and control
  • there are fair, democratic and open processes to deal with historic debt and prevent future crises
  • loans and debt repayments do not damage people, their communities and their environment

This is a vision of justice.
This is a vision of Jubilee.

It embodies aspirations and values shared by peoples of all faiths. It echoes the trumpet call of Jubilee first heard in the ancient scriptures of the Jewish and Christian faiths: when those enslaved as a result of debt are freed, lands lost because of debt are returned and communities torn by inequality are restored. It is the call to:

“let the oppressed go free”
