Why Citizens for Global Solutions?
Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS) is a nationwide organization that inspires Americans to engage the world. Our members recognize that in today's interconnected world, our lives, our jobs and our families are increasingly affected by global problems. Challenges like terrorism, climate change, failed states and infectious diseases can not be addressed by any one country on its own, not even the United States. Citizens for Global Solutions believes that countries can solve global problems by working together to find global solutions.
The CGS encourages Americans to recognize how they
are connected to the rest of the world, communicate
their concerns to public officials and promote solutions
to a range of global problems. We promote closer U.S.
cooperation with, and support for, international institutions
capable of responding to the threats and challenges
of a new century. We work to build political will in
the U.S. to be sure that our leaders work with our
friends and allies to make the world a better and safer
place for everyone. We recognize lawmakers who champion
these goals in our Congressional Report Card and via
support from Global Solutions PAC.
