What is Global Citizen NOW?

Global Citizen NOW is Global Citizen’s premier thought leadership summit that convenes world leaders, innovators, advocates, and the biggest names in pop culture to collectively drive action to end extreme poverty — not someday, but now.

Global Citizen democratizes these catalytic conversations between the brightest minds and most influential decision makers by making these moments available online to Global Citizens everywhere.

Global Citizen NOW events dive into what’s working and what isn’t, and uncover what is needed NOW to build a prosperous and sustainable future for all.
