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.
