[[Public interest group]]s, not-for-profit organisations and the [[United Nations]] now budget extensive amounts of time and money to use celebrity endorsers in their campaigns. An example of this is the [[People's Climate March (2014)|People's Climate March]] of 2014. The demonstration was part of the larger [[People's Climate Movement]], which aims to raise awareness of [[climate change]] and environmental issues more generally. Notable celebrities who were part of this campaign included actors [[Leonardo DiCaprio]], [[Mark Ruffalo]], and [[Edward Norton]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Endorsements|url=http://peoplesclimate.org/endorsements/|website=People's Climate Movement|access-date=27 July 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150814092039/http://peoplesclimate.org/endorsements/|archive-date=14 August 2015}}</ref>
