ORGANIZATIONS
Since early collaborations with Greenpeace and Amnesty International, the band have consistently thrown a spotlight on the work of campaigns and organisations tackling injustice and inhumanity.
From ONE and (RED) to the Chernobyl Children’s Project, from supporting communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina to great Irish organisations like Simon Community and Irish Hospice Foundation, U2 have been honoured to stand behind and beside some extraordinary people.
