For years, Global Citizen has been bringing citizens of the world together to try and end extreme poverty by 2030. One of their most well-known annual efforts to promote their advocacy is the Global Citizen Festival, which always features the biggest names in the music industry. Now, the international organization is holding a special event for the most pressing problem the entire world is dealing with right now: COVID-19.
Global Citizen, in partnership with the World Health Organization, is hosting an online event called One World: Together At Home. And, no, it's not for profit, nor is it a telethon. Its main purpose is to celebrate health workers, and to support the World Health Organization in the global fight to end COVID-19. The event has been curated by none other than Lady Gaga herself, and will be hosted by late night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.
