Coronavirus is still on an unbelievable rise in the US, like in many countries around the globe, while testing and treatments aren’t available to many people. To urge world leaders towards changing this, many celebrities are coming together to host a virtual concert while in isolation to highlight awareness for the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on marginalised communities. The event called Global Citizen: Unite for Our Future is being organized by Global Citizen in partnership with the European Commission.
The aim of the event is to bring “systemic change, change that brings about justice for everyone, everywhere, regardless of where they were born or the colour of their skin…” said the organization founder Hugh Evans in a statement.
