What Would You Power First?

If your community had clean energy 24/7, what would you power first — and why?

What to know:

• 600 million people still live without electricity — but clean energy can change everything.
• From schools to clinics to safe streets, clean energy powers dignity, opportunity, and life.
• Tell us what you’d power first if your community had 100% energy 24/7? We’ll share your message with leaders at GC NOW JHB.

Energy is more than just electricity — it’s about dignity, safety, and possibility. But for 600 million people in Africa, that possibility still doesn’t exist. And for millions more, energy is unreliable, unaffordable, or polluting the planet.

That’s why Global Citizen is calling on leaders to invest in clean energy systems that work for everyone — not just the wealthy or the wired. And the best way to demand that? Show them what’s possible.

This action invites you to dream — and share — what you’d power first if clean energy were guaranteed in your community. It might be a health clinic that saves lives. A well-lit road. A women-led farm. A classroom that finally gets the internet. These aren’t luxuries. They’re basic human rights.

These stories will be amplified at key campaign moments, the GC NOW Session in NYC, and GC NOW Johannesburg, where they’ll show leaders the real hopes powered by clean energy and why they must act now.
