Celebrity Activists!

Even better than the A-listers, Global Citizen also gives back. The platform has a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and plans to do so by educating global citizens about the systemic causes of extreme poverty, having them take action on those issues and even offering rewards for these actions as part of a global community committed to lasting change. These commitments and policy announcements positively impact more than 2.5 billion people.

If you’re unable to make it to the actual festival, don’t fret. For the sixth consecutive year, MSNBC and Comcast NBCUniversal have teamed up with the Global Citizen Festival to air an exclusive live simulcast of the festival beginning at 4 p.m. ET on MSNBC, MSNBC.com and NBC News Now.
