Jubilee Scotland is part of a new campaign to Build Back Better. As we begin to recover from the devastating impacts of Coronavirus, we have a chance to transform our society for the better.

A call for a new Debt Jubilee

May 5, 2020 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

We need to assess the public health crisis that is about to explode in the Global South if debt is not outright cancelled.

Illegitimate Greek Debt

June 13, 2013 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

By Alice Picard, Jubilee Scotland Volunteer (All posts are the views of the author, not Jubilee Scotland as an organisation).
