CitizenGO is an ultra-conservative[4][5][6][7][8][9] advocacy group founded in Madrid, Spain, in 2013 by the ultra-Catholic and far-right[10][11][12][13][14] HazteOir organization,[1][2][3] a similar Spanish platform that has been dedicated to the fight against "gender ideology" since 2001.[15]

The foundation aims to be "a community of active citizens that seeks to promote the participation of society in politics" and "defend and promote life, family, and liberty."[16] It promotes petitions in 50 countries, mostly defending Christian causes,[17][18] and those opposing same-sex marriage,[19][20] abortion,[17][21][22] and euthanasia.[23]
