Global Citizen is an education and advocacy organization using social campaigns to focus attention on ending extreme poverty.
I presented 1.4 Billion Reasons, a 90-minute multimedia presentation on eradicating extreme poverty, at universities, conferences, and schools across the country. I managed the presentation tour through 25 states and 70 events, speaking to over 15,000 attendees. I served on the founding team launching Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival into its current form today — a free ticketed event in New York City coinciding with the UN General Assembly every September. The festival has featured notable performances by Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, John Mayer, Rihanna, and numerous others.
