Artists and activists came together on Saturday for the Global Goal: Unite For Our Future event [1]. The two-hour virtual assembly [2], hosted by Global Citizen and Dwayne Johnson, featured discussions with political, social justice, and healthcare leaders who explored a series of topics regarding COVID-19 and its demographic impact on the world and the scientific field. Celebrities who took part in the conversations included Billy Porter [3], Charlize Theron [4], Naomi Campbell [5], Olivia Colman, and Salma Hayek [6]. This is the second Global Citizen forum of its kind, following the One World: Together at Home global remote concert [7] that broadcasted in April.
In true Global Citizen fashion, there were a handful of powerful performances. Jennifer Hudson [8] started the event with a gorgeous rendition of Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Where Peaceful Waters Flow," followed by John Legend [9]'s performance of "Bigger Love." Other standout sets included Chloe x Halle's striking stageing of their song "ROYL" [10] and Miley Cyrus's fervid cover of the Beatles' "Help!" [11]. Ahead, watch every incredible performance from the Unite For Our Future gathering!
