The Global Citizen NOW event will take place in New York on 1 and 2 May, bringing together influential decision-makers from politics, business, and philanthropy. The summit seeks to create a global agenda for urgent action to address challenges associated with extreme poverty. Among the attendees are Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi, and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg.
Actors like Hugh Jackman, Danai Gurira, and Dakota Johnson will be participating in the event. Danai Gurira expressed her commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices, particularly focusing on addressing inequities in Africa. The Global Citizen NOW event will focus on defeating preventable diseases such as malaria, polio, and HPV while also announcing initiatives related to preserving the Amazon Rainforest and increasing investments in Africa through the World Bank.
Organizers aim to inspire the next generation of advocates by awarding five young individuals making extraordinary efforts to create positive change in the world with the Global Citizen Prize awards. These awards provide financial support for these young leaders as they continue their work towards a better future for all. The summit is an opportunity for decision-makers from various sectors to come together and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing our planet today.
