"Words from the organization"

Since 2012, millions of Global Citizens around the world have taken over ten million actions to solve the world's biggest challenges. Thats ten 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 in 130 commitments and policy announcements from leaders, including financial aid valued at over $30 billion that is set to affect the lives of 1 billion people.
