“We set out to start a conversation,Osawa Yuka Archives and with the power of your voices, we've started a movement."
These words from Mashable founder and CEO Pete Cashmore not only helped kick off the seventh-annual Social Good Summit on Sept. 18, but they remained a common thread throughout the summit's two days, both onstage and online.
With discussions ranging from the global refugee crisis to #BlackLivesMatter, the call to participate in the social good conversation and amplify the voices of others was heard loud and clear.
Through the power of the social good community, the hashtag #2030NOW garnered more than 1.8 billion impressionsover the course of the summit's two days. The Social Good Summit was attended by 1,800 peoplein New York City, with more than 100,000 peoplewatching the global broadcast live and in the following days. This year's summit not only drew in speakers from across the globe, but was live streamed into seven different languages.
The hashtag #2030NOW garnered more than 1.8 billion impressions on social over the Summit's two days.
In addition to an already stellar lineup of speakers, both days of the Social Good Summit featured a number of special guests. On the opening day, a surprise appearance by Yiech Pur Biel and Yusra Mardini of the Olympic Refugee Team ignited a message of hope that resonated throughout the following sessions. The final day featured the unveiling of the U.N.'s 17 Young Leaders, who were selected from more than 18,000 nominations. And introducing her husband's Cancer Moonshot address, Dr. Jill Biden addressed the crowd and also participated in her first-ever Facebook Live.

Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix // @MalalaFund student campaigners Zaynab Abdi and Muzoon Almellehan, refugees from Yemen and Syria respectively, are in #NYC this week campaigning for their rights to education and against the increased rates of early, child and forced marriage threatening their generation. “Refugees are the same as other people. We all share the same sun and the same sky,” said Zaynab who was during their panel at the #SocialGoodSummit2016. "It is not my fault to have lost my rights, my right to education,” added Muzoon. "We must help all children around the world.” Relocated to the US, Zaynab is now in school with a 4.0 grade point average and is captain of her soccer team. The girls are in town to share their stories during the United Nations General Assembly. #instacorps #humanrights #girls #photography #2030now @tooyoungtowed

Yesterday I had the amazing honor to sit on a panel at the Social Good Summit called "To Be Heard" with Lonnie Ali and Nina Ansary, moderated by Chrysula Winegar. Beforehand and during the panel, I got to hear the thoughts and stories of these women, one of whom is the wife of Muhammad Ali, and the other, a writer of the Iranian woman's experience. The depth of knowledge and insight I was able to glean from them was boundless and made me feel so grateful to stand with them, exploring what it means to be heard, and the impact we can have in the world when we're brave enough to know ourselves and to take action. On #gratituesday I'd just like to take a moment to say being able to go from the Emmys on Sunday to the Social Good Summit on Monday is basically a dream for me. And all of you out there who aren't sure about this whole dream thing, or making your dreams real, I want to tell you it's possible. Know gratitude. Know yourself and then look beyond. And be heard. #socialgoodsummit2016
