Tonight, #GlobalCitizenFestival returned to Central Park in New York City, uniting Global Citizens, artists, and advocates for a powerful day of action and music. This event has always been about harnessing the power of music and activism to drive real, tangible change – and this year was no exception Bold and innovative steps were taken to further protect the planet, support the replenishment of the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), and so much more. And, of course, Global Citizens took a record 3.4 million actions to defeat poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity. Thank you to everyone who came together to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges. Read all about the festival’s impact: https://lnkd.in/esHvC2jB

Global Citizen is a movement using its collective voice to end extreme poverty by 2030.
About us
We are an advocacy organization dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2030. We do this by encouraging people to learn and take action on our platform; those actions apply pressure on world leaders to make commitments around the issues associated with extreme poverty: gender equality, food security, education, the environment, global health, citizenship, and sanitation. We don't ask people for money, but to take action for the world’s poor. These actions can be as simple as a tweet, signing a petition, making a phone call, or sending an email. By taking action, these Global Citizens are rewarded with access and tickets to our music festivals and other events around the world. So far, more than 13 million actions have been taken by Global Citizens, leading to $35 billion commitments being made by world leaders, which are set to affect 1.3 billion lives by 2030.

Just as music has the power to change the world, sport does too. At #GlobalCitizenFestival, we announced a four year partnership with FIFA to mobilize football fans globally to help end extreme poverty. As part of tonight’s announcement, FIFA shared the 11 cities who will host the 2025 Club World Cup in the USA, bringing together 32 of the world’s best teams. Global Citizens will have the chance to take action to earn tickets, with games played in Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, Orlando, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Washington, and Philadelphia. And in 2026, as part of our new partnership with FIFA, Global Citizen will produce a first ever World Cup final half-time show to drive even more impact. We couldn’t be more excited to embark on this journey with FIFA!
