Can a digital movement end global poverty? | Michael Sheldrick | TEDxPerth

How do you leverage online citizens to real world action? How do you get world leaders and celebrities to act on the world's most pressing problems? Michael Sheldrick talks about clicktivism done right. Michael has coordinated several international advocacy campaigns in support of important causes including universal sanitation, access to education and the eradication of polio. As Global Director of Policy and Advocacy at Global Citizen, Michael serves as the organisation’s main representative to the United Nations. He has worked with high-profile world leaders, musicians and philanthropists, including Ban Ki-moon, Beyoncé, Usher, Rihanna, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. He helped mobilise political and public support for the launch of the UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development - a blueprint that seeks to end extreme poverty by 2030. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
