Extreme poverty will not be ended by charities, businesses or governments working alone. Defeating extreme poverty requires us to change the rules, systems and structures that keep people poor so that the potential of every person can be realised ? something that requires the support of all of charities, businesses and governments. We believe that we can change specific policies and practices that contribute to keeping people in extreme poverty when an organised, critical mass of individuals in society aspire to the values of global citizenship, and are organised and equipped to take meaningful action. Repeat this cycle across many issues, and this movement can ensure that governments, businesses and individuals act with greater alignment to the interests of the world?s poor, so that progressively, the systems, structures, policies and processes are changed, ending extreme poverty by 2030 Global Citizen Festival - Annual 60,000 person festival in Central Park following UNGA where world leaders convene to make commitments towards ending extreme poverty.

2014 Thank You Festival - In the build up to Thank You Festival, Global Poverty Project campaigned with RESULTS and Global Campaign for Education for increased funding to the Global Partnership for Education. The Thank You Festival also made the case for United States aid to target preventable child deaths and protect children from
violence and abuse. Global citizens took 142,000 actions calling on the US government to commit funds to see children survive and thrive. The tactic worked, with USAID Administrator Raj Shah realigning US $2.9 billion of aid to end preventable child deaths, especially in Afghanistan, Mali and Somalia where new-born deaths are most concentrated. Additionally, Laerdal Global Health, Johnson & Johnson, USAID, the Norwegian Aid Agency, the American Association of Pediatrics, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ethiopian Pediatric Society, the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, and the Pediatric Association of Nigeria committed to a US $4 million public-private partnership deal. This partnership is supporting some of the most vulnerable women combating major threats to new-born survival.
