Mission: Global Exchange is an international human rights organization dedicated to promoting political, social and environmental justice globally. Since our founding in 1988, we have been working to increase global awareness among the U.S. public while building partnerships around the world. Our goals are: (1) to educate the U.S. public about critical global issues; (2) to promote respect for the rights outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; (3) to encourage both the U.S. government and private institutions to support policies that promote democratic and sustainable development; and (4) to link people in our own country and people in the global South who are working for political, social and environmental justice.

I think the exchange of good ideas and committed work between the Global South and North is essential for building a more just, sustainable and equitable world. I would love to take part in one of their Reality Tours - as soon as I have some free time!

I went on one of their Reality Tours, and realized what a ripoff this organization is. They don't care about the real issues, only promoting their one-sided, misconceived view. I believe fully in human rights, labor rights, gender rights, etc., but this organization does not live up to their hype. Disappointed.

As a busy mother I appreciate and respect the work that Global Exchange does to improve all of our lives. I am deeply grateful to their commitment in promoting renewable energy, human rights, and sustainable development. I hope that in the future my children will not have to fight for these basic human and environmental rights but that it will be a common reality. Without Global Exchange and similar organizations this reality may never come to fruition. I look forward to their newsletters to better educate myself on current events and positive change they are making in the world. Thank you to all of the men and women who work at Global Exchange and have a vision for a better and more just world.

I volunteered at Global Exchange for 3 months, and it was a very valuable and rewarding experience. I became familiar with the inner-workings of non-profit organizations and learned how fund-raising and donor relationships play vital roles in the success of a non-profit organization . The working atmosphere was great, filled with friendly people and a light environment. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Global Exchange, and would highly recommend them as a great organization to get involved with.

Global Exchange is the organization I count on to be on the frontlines of the struggle for justice and human rights. Their tenacious campaigns - whether it is promoting Fair Trade or taking on Big Oil - are informative and inspiring. I am honored to be a monthly supporter of this organization.
