Heralding an event that Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans calls “the one” — i.e., the biggest thing they’ve done to date — the philanthropic organization has announced plans for &#822…

Global Citizen says the broadcast/webcast will truly be mostly live throughout most of those 24 hours, with musicians or speakers on six continents in front of audiences everywhere from New York’s Central Park to the Champ de Mars in Paris to… yes, as you might have guessed from the top of the lineup, Seoul.

Global Citizen has several goals in mind for the epic, day-long show, including raising consciousness and soliciting big-donor funds in support of combating poverty, climate change and international vaccine inequity, causes that Evans sees as deeply interrelated, not distinct. Evans says some locations for “Global Citizen Live” may not have a live audience, since it would be hypocritical for an organization that’s so pro-vax to put anyone in a precarious position in areas where outbreaks are rampant. But “it’s much more live than pre-taped,” he assures. “There will still be some markets, due to COVID restrictions, where we need to make sure that either if it is live, it won’t have an audience, or if it’s pre-taped, it’s done with full compliance.

Global Citizen doesn’t solicit donations from regular citizens during its events, but does reach out to corporations, world leaders and privileged business leaders. Evans points to billionaires who are in the news right now as not necessarily setting the best example, or at least a broad example, of what to do with their mad money.

Evans can cite a practical or symbolic reason why most of the cities on “Global Citizen Live’s” routing map have been chosen. It’ll be UN General Assembly week in New York as tens of thousands come to Central Park, and he says the event is timed to call on that body ahead of the G20 summit and UN Climate Change Conference , both getting underway at the end of October. Paris represents the home, of course, of the Paris Climate Change Accord, with potential action to come in October.

BTS PAVING THE WAY

I know that BTS will bend over backwards for Army. But American music Corp. does not want them. So who knows what time they'll show them. I'm sure it's a Time to keep most of America clueless besides Army who will wait endlessly for them.

This cause is very aligned to Bangtan and ARMY will tune in
