Giving Compass' Take:

• The Movement Makers Summit hosted by Global Citizen highlights activism and collective impact of people organizing together to build social movements. 

• How has youth activism changed in the past five years? 

• Read about the ways that funders can support social movements. 

From suffrage and the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement, people-led social movements have long inspired and demanded real change in the world.

To highlight the collective power of people, the best movement-building activists from across the arts, culture, political, social good, and behavioral science spheres will convene on Sept. 25 in New York for the annual Movement Makers Summit.

As part of Global Citizen Week 2018, the event will see expert influencers share their individual experiences on how impactful movements can be built to ensure the Global Goals are realized by 2030.

We’re inviting Global Citizens to join us at the Movement Makers Summit on Tuesday, Sept. 25 from 9 a.m to 5 p.m at the Times Center, located on 242 West 41st Street. The event is already sold out, but you can follow along and join the discussion with the hashtag #MovementMakers.

The summit, hosted by Global Citizen and presented by our global partner Johnson & Johnson, will consist of three major elements.

First, the main stage programming will feature a diverse mix of speakers that will encourage attendees to consider their own movement-making journeys. Secondly, the Action Village will provide interactive experiences for audiences members and allow guests to speak one-on-one with a range of organizations. And lastly, facilitated discussions will provide a structured moment for learning, engagement, and collaboration among the 500 leaders, citizens, and campaigners in attendance.
