December 1, 2008 - President Elect Obama and his new economic team, including Treasury Secretary-designate Timonthy Geithner, have a huge job ahead of them. They will be facing down a growing economic crisis and recession in the United States from day one.
But while we must work for economic justice at home, we must also not forget our brothers and sisters across the globe in this time of need. That’s why Jubilee USA has launched a new campaign – the What’s On Your Heart? Campaign.
As the book of Matthew tells us, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also…” As the Torah reminds us, "Do not close your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother".
In this new campaign we will welcome new Treasury Secretary Geithner to his position by telling him what’s on our hearts as Jubilee people in these difficult times.
From now until January 20, we will be collecting hand-written notes on hearts, postcards, and online letters from you to Treasury Secretary-designate Geithner telling him which Jubilee issues are on your heart in this time of crisis. We will deliver all of these messages to him when we welcome him to his new position sometime just before Valentine's Day.
