Global Citizen or the Global Poverty Project is an international organization founded by Hugh Evans with the goal of fighting climate change and eradicating poverty across the world. Now, they’ve added one more mission to their list – ending the pandemic.
One of their biggest fundraising events is the annual Global Citizen Festival. This year the event took place on September 25th across multiple big cities like Paris, New York City, Seoul, and Los Angeles and spanned for an entire day. Imagine – 24 hours of live music.
