From November 25 to December 10, KAIROS joins communities and partners worldwide in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. We honour the acts of activism - quiet gestures and bold collective actions - that spark transformation. Each day, we will share reflections from women peacebuilders, land defenders, migrant and Indigenous women, gender-diverse people and male allies. Their stories illuminate courage, healing and resistance, inviting us to stand in solidarity and help build a world free of gender-based violence.

The KAIROS Delegation to COP30 engaged in UN negotiations and the People’s Summit. Their reflections highlight the gendered impacts of climate change, the links between conflict and global debt and the urgent need for ecological and restorative justice. Although COP30 has concluded, the delegates’ insights remain vital. We invite you to read the delegates’ blogs and videos received to date and stay connected through KAIROS’ social media channels.

In a time of crisis and disconnection, KAIROS’ 2025 Regional Gatherings offered grounding, renewal and hope. Across three regions, participants explored ecological and debt justice, deepened relationships and lifted community leadership. Shannon Neufeldt reflects on how shared learning and connection opened new horizons and nurtured the values that sustain transformative action.

KAIROS’ Danielle Kamtié reflects on a vibrant gathering of church and youth leaders in East Africa for the Fellowship of Christian Councils and Churches in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa regional ecumenical forum in Entebbe, Uganda in late October. From climate justice to community healing, Danielle shares how their collective vision for holistic peace and social cohesion offers renewed hope and actionable pathways for lasting change.

Danielle Kamtié reflects on the first G20 summit held on African soil - a moment she writes that must become a catalyst for real transformation. Her blog explores civil society's call for debt and ecological justice, resource sovereignty and Canada’s responsibility to support true systemic change.

On November 24, The Hill Times published a letter by KAIROS’ Alfredo Barahona, urging Canada and Ecuador to uphold the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. Countering Ecuador’s denial of systematic human rights violations against Indigenous land defenders – often protesting Canadian mining operations in their territories - Alfredo calls on Ecuador and Canada to respect life, self-determination and Indigenous territorial rights.

Nearly half of the world’s population live in countries that spend more on debt interest than on health, education and climate change. Big banks and hedge funds lend to these countries at unfair rates and profit from the interest. These big financial institutions act like payday loan sharks. UK-based Project Everyone made a “TV advert” to show the public just how unfair this is.

Join us in celebration and reflection with Jubilee – Sound of Freedom, a song by Rick Gunn for the Jubilee 2025: Turn Debt into Hope campaign. Listen and use it when animating the campaign!

After sending two delegates to the G7 Jubilee People’s Forum, Whitehorse United Church energized its commitment to debt justice through media outreach, community education and spirited petition-gathering. Shannon Neufeldt shares how their activism continues to inspire and how others can join the Jubilee movement.

We invite faith communities to reflect on scripture through the lens of justice, renewal and hope. Jubilee Sermon Starters – a blog series - offers inspiration and guidance for weaving the call to Jubilee into worship and preaching, helping us connect timeless biblical themes with today’s urgent struggles for debt justice, climate action and peace.

From Aotearoa (New Zealand) at the 2025 World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education (November 16-20), Alfredo Barahona shares reflections on Indigenous education and solidarity with land defenders facing state oppression. His blog highlights how communities resist erasure and reclaim their right to land, culture and collective dignity.

At WIPCE 2025 Alfredo Barahona, along with our partners from Australia - Thelma Parker and Jayde Conway - delivered a slide presentation on the World Blanket Exercise that drew strong interest and thoughtful engagement. Alfredo writes about the reflections and connections that ensued.
