After the worldwide success of One World: Together At Home, Global Citizen is hosting another telethon on Saturday June 27 (June 28 in Japan). Hosted by Dwayne Johnson, Global Goal: Unite For Our Future will feature performances by Shakira, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber with appearances by international favourites David Beckham, Chris Rock, Kerry Washington and other celebrities, entertainers and leaders from around the world.
Viewers can also enter virtual raffles by taking ‘actions’, such as signing petitions and posting on social media. Raffles include a virtual makeup tutorial with Japanese pro wrestler Asuka, an online cooking class with Padma Lakshmi and a virtual happy hour with Adam Lambert.
Global Goal: Unite For Our Future will raise awareness of the outsized impact Covid-19 coronavirus is having on marginalised communities throughout the world and fight to make tests, treatments and vaccines available for everyone globally. The telethon funds raised by philanthropists, corporations and viewers will be donated to global organisations working in international healthcare and those developing a coronavirus vaccine, including The Global Fund, the World Health Organisation’s Covid-19 Response Fund and Global Citizen’s International and Regional Response, Relief and Resilience Network, among others.
Tune into the telethon from Japan on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. The show will also be broadcasted live on FOD and Fuji TV Next on June 28 at 3am and Fuji TV and BS Fuji on June 29 at 1.25am.
