Global Citizen’s mission is simple: to end extreme poverty and demand equity for all. Celebrities like Hugh Jackman, Shakira, and The Weeknd have been part of that mission, using their fame not for applause, but for impact.

When artists speak out onstage or online, they shine a light on issues often overlooked, from health access to education for girls.

At Global Citizen, we combine the power of ordinary people with the influence of public figures to pressure governments, corporations, and world leaders to step up.

You don’t need a spotlight to make a difference. Join us, take action, and help write the next chapter in this global movement.
