Global Citizen is a political organization which aims to fight against poverty and the climate crisis. Originally founded as the Global Poverty Project in 2008 by Hugh Evans, Simon Moss, and Wei Soo, Global Citizen was co-founded as a platform with Michael Sheldrick and Ryan Gall in 2012. Throughout the years, this group has gained several offices, including in their headquarters in New York, and offices in Canada, South Africa, Nigeria, Australia, Germany and the UK. According to brooklynvegan.com, the organization’s current goals revolve around children’s education, land preservation in the Amazon and energy access for citizens in Africa.
