A Call by American Astronomer and Author Neil deGrasse Tyson for Becoming a Global Citizen


     Improving life for the poor will take contributions from everyone. Becoming a global citizen doesn’t mean you have to dedicate your life to helping the poor. It does mean you follow an issue of global importance—whether it’s one we wrote about in this letter, or another, like human rights or governance. You take a few minutes once in a while to learn about the lives of people who are worse off than you are."In 15 years, we went from no space program … to boot prints on the moon. I remember the day, because that was made possible … everything else was possible as well.”
     So what will it take to make sure that the lives of the poor improves faster in the next 15 years than ever before? Click here to become a Global Citizen and watch the Video (1:40 mins) by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
