Global Citizen is a social action platform that encourages users to learn about issues and take action on what matters most, and join a community committed to social change. Since 2012, millions of Global Citizens around the world have taken over six million actions—from emails and tweets to petition signatures and phone calls— to help solve the world's biggest challenges, with the ultimate goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030. To date, the actions of the Global Citizen community, along with the organization’s high-level advocacy efforts and those of its partners, have resulted in 130 commitments and policy announcements from leaders, including financial aid valued at over $25.6 billion that is set to affect the lives of 656 million people.
