NEW
YORK, July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
Citizen, the world's leading international advocacy
organization on a mission to end extreme poverty, today announced
world renowned rapper, singer, dancer and style icon, LISA
will join the lineup for the 2024 Global Citizen Festival as
a co-headliner. LISA just released her new single, "Rockstar," last
month and this will be her first solo performance at a music
festival. LISA joins previously announced headliners Post
Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll
and Rauw Alejandro, and Global Citizen Ambassador
Hugh Jackman, who will host
the event on September 28 in
New York City's Central Park.
Tickets to the Global Citizen Festival are free and can be earned
by taking action on the Global Citizen app or at
globalcitizenfestival.com to defeat poverty, defend the planet
and demand equity.
As world leaders gather in New
York for the UN General Assembly, the 2024 Global Citizen
Festival will advocate for the equity of all people, calling on
governments, philanthropists and the private sector to ensure the
basic needs of the world's marginalized communities are fulfilled,
including immunizations and strong health systems, quality
education, and nutritious food.
For example, there are currently 72 million children out of
school due to conflict and crisis around the world. Global Citizen
is calling on the governments such as Australia, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden
and the US to provide at least $250
million to help bridge the funding gap of $500 million for Education Cannot Wait,
which supports children's access education across 43 crisis
affected countries, to help 20 million children living in conflict
zones to continue their education. Additionally, Global Citizen is
calling for governments and leaders from the UK, Germany, the European Commission, Canada, the US, Australia, Sweden, and Norway to increase their contributions to
GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance by at least 20 percent, to help
mobilize a minimum of $9 billion in
order to immunize another 500 million children against preventable
diseases and save over 8 million lives.
Additional organizations to receive support include CGIAR,
the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), IFAD and
UNFPA. The 2024 Global Citizen Festival campaign is also
focused on defeating poverty, defending the planet, and is calling
for a world where everyone's human rights are respected and
protected, including the rights of advocates and activists
worldwide, particularly defenders risking their lives to take
action on extreme poverty and protect the planet.
"Today's announcement will drive tens of
thousands of global citizens to take action to help end extreme
poverty," said Hugh Evans,
Co-Founder & CEO, Global Citizen. "Our mission has never
been more urgent, and on September 28
the world will see the impact a movement of global citizens can
have when they use their collective voice to call on governments
and business leaders to step up in the fight to defeat poverty,
defend the planet and demand equity."
"We are thrilled to join forces with LISA for what will be her
first ever solo performance at a music festival," said
Katie Hill, SVP, Head of Music,
Entertainment and Artist Relations, Global Citizen. "LISA is
not only an incredible performer, but also a powerful advocate,
leveraging her voice and platform to drive action on some of the
most urgent challenges our world is facing. We look forward to
welcoming LISA, and of course Lilies and Blinks, to Central Park in
September! Join us by taking action on the Global Citizen app, and
together we can make a huge impact to end extreme poverty."
