Rauw Alejandro will be one of the headlining artists at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, taking place on September 28, 2024, at the iconic Great Lawn in Central Park. This annual event brings together musicians, activists, and world leaders with the goal of mobilizing action to end extreme poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity.

The Global Citizen Festival is held to raise awareness and funds to combat extreme poverty and other urgent global issues. The organization behind the festival, Global Citizen, works to empower the most vulnerable people and communities, promoting meaningful change through collective action. This year, the festival will focus on three key areas: ending poverty, protecting the planet, and demanding equity.

Extreme poverty remains a significant global challenge. According to the World Bank, in 2022, approximately 712 million people lived on less than $2.15 per day, an increase of 23 million compared to 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic and other factors have worsened this situation, particularly affecting the poorest regions of the world. Additionally, climate change and conflicts continue to hinder efforts to reduce poverty.

In the United States, despite being one of the wealthiest nations in the world, approximately 40 million people live below the official poverty line. The official poverty rate in 2019 was 10.5%, down from 11.8% in 2018. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors have worsened this situation, particularly impacting the most vulnerable communities.

The Global Citizen Festival aims to address these issues by mobilizing resources and raising awareness for social causes. The participation of artists like Rauw Alejandro not only draws public attention but also inspires more people to join the cause and take action to create a fairer, more equitable world.
