The 2017 Global Citizen Festival is taking action to secure funding for GPE
The annual Global Citizen Festival returns to Central Park’s Great Lawn on September 23. The event brings together top musicians with world leaders to make commitments toward health, gender equality, education and other poverty issues. The festival is free and music lovers need to “take actions” to pressure those in charge of countries and corporations to pledge to create change and promise money to those who so desperately need it.
This year, one of the actions the Global Citizen Festival is asking the global community to take is to secure US$2 billion in annual funding by 2020 for GPE and an extra US$30 million in new commitments to the Education Cannot Wait fund.
