TAKE ACTION

Global Citizen and Aéropostale are teaming up to launch TAKE ACTION: an exclusive collaboration to drive change toward the most urgent issues facing humanity and our planet.  Join the movement of action-takers committed to creating a brighter future.

Your experiences, your dreams, and your vision hold the keys to shaping tomorrow.

As a young person, your journey is a mosaic of experiences that deserve to be respected.

Our leaders may sit in seats of authority, but too often they're not getting to the root of issues that need to be solved. Struggles with education, mental health, employment, and social justice aren't just statistics – they're living narratives that demand attention.

But it's not just about the struggles. This generation is a powerhouse of innovation, creativity, and potential.  Your ideas have the power to ignite change, reshape policies, and lay the groundwork for more inclusive, equitable societies. 

Believe in the power of your voice. Your dreams, aspirations, and beliefs are not just valid – they are essential. 

It's time to claim your seat at the table: speak up, speak out, and tell us why leaders must listen to the voices of youth.
