“Tonight we’re all going to go on a bit of a journey to discover how this year’s honorees answered the call to defeat poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity. We’ll discover how their purpose-driven missions have started locally but have influenced and affected people worldwide. That journey doesn’t just end here; tonight is the beginning of a totally new chapter.
“Prepare to be inspired to change the world!”

“In order to create real change, we can’t just talk about the world’s problems — you have to take action.”

“This is just the beginning. There is so much more work for all of us to do. If we are to truly defeat poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity, it’s going to require actions and not words. So on that note, I encourage all of you to head over to GlobalCitizen.org and do something to make our world better.”
vanjones68: I had a great time at the big Global Citizen event in NYC this week. The world has been running a big deficit of hope lately. But this gathering helps to bring back some faith in humanity. The honorees are true profiles in courage. And I got selfies with some of my favorite people.
