We Day (stylized as WE Day) was an annual series of stadium-sized youth empowerment events organized by We Charity (formerly known as Free The Children), a Canadian charity founded by brothers Marc and Craig Kielburger. WE Day events hosted tens of thousands of students and celebrated the effect they have made on local and global issues. Students earned their tickets by participating in the We Schools program, a year-long service learning program that was run by We Charity. Each event featured a lineup of social activists, speakers and musical performances. The event was cancelled in September 2020 with the winding down of Canadian operations of the We Charity, following the WE Charity scandal.
