Millennium Development Goals:	Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Mission statement:	We envision a world in which we have restored relations between nations and people, a true Jubilee. We believe in a world where poverty is eliminated and all meet their basic needs. A world in which families and communities have a voice in economic policies and decisions that affect their lives. Our efforts build the political support needed to influence world-wide decision makers, the White House, Congress, the G20, International Financial Institutions and the United Nations to promote poverty reduction and move solutions to the international debt crisis. Ultimately, we work to create an international financial system that protects and ensures participation of the most vulnerable within the context of human rights. Our advocacy promotes responsible lending and borrowing, increasing debt relief for poor countries, curbing illicit financial flows and corporate tax avoidance, moving forward an international debt resolution process, pushing reforms in international financial institutions and protecting poor people from predatory financial behavior.

Our board of directors is largely drawn from that membership. The board of directors oversees the work of the Executive Director, who in turn supervises staff.
