Global Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens who are using their collective voice to end extreme poverty by 2030. On our platform, Global Citizens learn about the systemic causes of extreme poverty, take action on those issues, and earn rewards for their actions — as part of a global community committed to lasting change.
Since 2011, millions of Global Citizens around the world have taken over 14 million actions to solve the world's biggest challenges. That’s 14 million emails, tweets, petition signatures and phone calls targeting world leaders to end extreme poverty by 2030.
To date, the actions by our global community along with our high level advocacy efforts and with our partners, have resulted commitments and policy announcements from leaders, valued at over $37 billion that is set to affect the lives of more than 2.25 billion people by 2030. A total of 650 million people's lives have already been impacted.
Global Citizen is headquartered in New York, with offices in Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The organization was co-founded by Hugh Evans, Simon Moss, Wei Soo in 2008.
The Global Citizen platform was co-founded with Ryan Gall and Riot House in 2012.
