Historically, churches have been at the forefront of debt justice advocacy, with pastors, priests, bishops, laypeople, and religious orders raising strong concerns about the impact of debt on their communities ⛪. Today, we continue this tradition with Jubilee 2025: Turn Debt into Hope, focusing on three essential pillars: 

Ecological Debt 🌳: Addressing the environmental damage and resource exploitation that disproportionately affect the Global South and Indigenous communities. We advocate for sustainable practices and policies that protect our planet. 

Indigenous Rights ✊: Standing in solidarity with Indigenous peoples, amplifying their voices, and supporting their calls for land restitution and cultural preservation. We fight for justice and self-determination. 

Economic Debt 💰: Demanding the cancellation of unjust debts that hinder development and divert resources from essential services. By freeing up funds, we can invest in healthcare, education, and climate action. 

Together, we can drive transformative change and build a future where dignity, equity, and sustainability are at the heart of our financial systems. Let's turn debt into hope and action! 📝🌿
