The self-described, “unsigned Seattle indie-jazz band” Jubilee is taking a unique approach to fighting the global slave and forced-child-prostitution industries: playing music and giving away money.

“The reason we've had time to enjoy music is that we've been blessed. We think there's enough to go around — so we're enjoying and extending the blessing,” says Curtis Romjue, Jubilee's guitar and word-slinger. "When I learned there are more slaves now than the 400 years of the African slave trade combined, a light-switch went on in my head." An estimate from Understanding Global Slavery puts the worldwide figure at 27 million slaves, with 100,000-150,000 in the USA.

Jubilee sends 10% of their booking fees and 50% of all merchandise sales to the International Justice Mission — a nonprofit providing lawyers to fight for justice around the world."We love what we do! Music makes our lives better,and we hope it can improve the lives of others."
