New York (AP) — Global Citizen is planning a party with a purpose with its upcoming Global Citizen Live concerts, and performer Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas says joining forces to create positive change was a no-brainer for him. Global Citizen hosted another large concert in May advocating the importance of vaccine equity, exceeding its goal by raising $302 million. Evans hopes artists will encourage citizens to push governments and major corporations to be more proactive in tackling climate change, poverty and vaccine equity. ”If they don’t care about these issues, frankly, they will lose the next election. Evans says not only are they complying with local virus regulations, but Global Citizen is going above and beyond those restrictions to make sure everyone stays safe.
