Current Events

The world is a crazy, unpredictable place. Luckily, every day, people take charge and organize movements, make change, and lead nations.

These figures fight for justice, fairness, and equality, or in some cases actively fight against these causes. Understanding who is leading the world is crucial in understanding current events and the world around you. In these guides, you'll learn who these people are and why they're so important to the world today. Check out Fiveable's free materials to find out more about these change-makers.
