announced the format switch, saying: “‘The Activist’ was designed to show a wide audience the passion, long hours, and ingenuity that activists put into changing the world, hopefully inspiring others to do the same. However, it has become apparent the format of the show as announced distracts from the vital work these incredible activists do in their communities every day. The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort.
Global Citizen released its own separate statement that included an apology. “Global activism centers on collaboration and cooperation, not competition. We apologize to the activists, hosts, and the larger activist community — we got it wrong,” the philanthropic org said. “It is our responsibility to use this platform in the most effective way to realize change and elevate the incredible activists dedicating their lives to progress all around the world.
The now-abandoned format for the series had six activists representing three causes — health, education and environment — completing challenges to raise awareness about those issues during the initial four episodes. For the fifth and final episode, three of the six activists were to have been chosen to go to the G20 summit in Rome at the end of October and meet with world leaders to personally press their causes.
Priyanka always has her heart in right place. We all make mistakes. I stand by you Pri.
It takes strong individual to accept mistake publicly. Love Priyanka for that .
Yess, Queen. Love you for this
I am glad Priyanka is owning up her mistake..takes a lot of courage to do that.
Bahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂 shit still funny!!!
What is disappointing is that she thought it was a good idea. Maybe it was considered so in the elite bubble.
Just cancel it.
Why not make it a coach-led development show with actually activists coaching the teams?
