The 2015 Global Citizen Festival is a leverage point to shape the future of international development through the Global Goals. These goals will guide the next 15 years of international development and are the key targets to end extreme poverty by 2030.
These goals will be announced at the United Nations on September 25th, and global citizens can turn the stage in Central Park into the next big step for world leaders to announce their concrete plans to accomplish the Global Goals.
This year, global citizens will earn their free tickets by taking part in sets of actions called “Action Journeys.” These actions may include signing a petition, sending a tweet, writing emails and calling world leaders. Taken together, these actions will shape the future by holding world leaders accountable.
