Global Citizens learn about the causes of extreme poverty, take action, and earn rewards for their actions as part of a global community committed to lasting change. We are an advocacy organization dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2030. We do this by encouraging people to learn and take action on our platform; those actions apply pressure on world leaders to make commitments around the issue
s associated with extreme poverty: gender equality, food security, education, the environment, global health, citizenship, and sanitation. These actions can be as simple as a tweet, signing a petition, making a phone call, or sending an email. By taking action, these Global Citizens are rewarded with access and tickets to our music festivals and other events around the world. So far, 24.8 million actions have been taken by Global Citizens, leading to $48.4 billion commitments being made by world leaders, which has affected 880 million lives to date.
