Queen + Adam Lambert, Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys, OneRepublic, H.E.R., Carole King — you can see these artists and more in NYC’s iconic Central Park, and tickets are totally free.
That’s because Global Citizen believes in the power of advocacy. We don’t ask people for money — instead we ask people to use their voice to demand world leaders and corporations help us end extreme poverty. We ask them to make sure girls have an equal chance at education as boys; to ensure no child is left to die of a preventable disease; to help us reduce single-use plastics so our oceans stay healthy; and much more.
