The Borgen Project works to bring political attention to global poverty in the United States through lobbying efforts, public pressure campaigns, and issue messaging to spark mainstream interest. Its mission is to build a political force for humanitarian issues and compel the powerful U.S. government to address global poverty. The organization highlights how relatively small investments could end world hunger, provide universal education and healthcare access, showing that solutions require just a fraction of military spending.
