Co-Founder and President of Causes

Watch out President Obama, someone else is mobilizing the masses to do good — and it’s Joe Green. At 25, the co-founder and president of Causes has created a vehicle for activism by leveraging social causes through online social networks. The result has been powerful — a visionary business model that’s empowered 30 million Facebook and MySpace users to change the world. The Santa Monica, Calif., native began stoking his passion for politics and social progress as a social studies major at Harvard, where he was also involved in numerous grassroots causes. After graduating in 2006, Green founded Essembly, a non-partisan networking site dedicated to intelligent debate of topical issues. Causes registered 12 million users who had supported 80,000 nonprofit causes worldwide in the first year of its launch and raised $2.5 million for 19,445 charitable organizations.
