Turn Debt into Hope Pledges

Giving of our gifts, time and talents

You’re invited to participate in Jubilee 2025: Turn Debt into Hope in so many ways. We are a broad and inclusive movement!  

Collecting 100,000 petition signatures will show our governments and the international finance community that Canadians want international debt justice. Please pledge to collect at least 100 signatures from family, friends, and your wider network. Think about collecting at your place of worship and at events.  

But this is more than just a numbers game.  

We call for debt cancellation in the context of the ecological debt owed to the Indigenous peoples and the Global South. In order to build political will for change, economic justice and ecological debt need to be on people’s minds again. We want people to understand that global debt has never been higher and that much of the debt owed by countries is unjust. In addition to collecting signatures, can you write a song, make a poster, organize a panel presentation, talk to your Member of Parliament, make an announcement, make a speech, make a button or make a donation? What are your gifts, resources and talents? How can you support the movement? Make a commitment and inspire others. Sign up below! 

Your entry will show up in 1-2 business days. 

Movement Building 

Anything you can think of that would bring people together or engage people in the Jubilee campaign is relevant here. Organize a Jubilee Sunday, put on a workshop, give a sermon, make an announcement, set up a display table, making a presentation, deliver flyers, etc. How do you want to contribute to building the movement and who do you want to help you? Help us grow the movement! 

Funding 

This is a People’s Movement! Every dollar counts. Each of the Canadian organizations involved have taken on the Jubilee campaign without any additional funding so far. Below are our key activities. They will require funds.  

• Sponsoring Indigenous, Global South civil society and Canadian faith representatives to attend G7, COP30 and G20 events and gatherings 
• Faith community engagement events, forums and advocacy campaigns nationwide  
• Public education resource development (digital and print) tailored to Canadian faith communities  
• Advocacy meetings with Canadian Parliamentarians and government officials
