The caption read, “It’s almost been 10 years since the first time @glblctzn brought the world together in NYC’s Central Park for #GlobalCitizenFestival. Since then, I’ve had the honor to join activists and influential leaders on the Global Citizen stage in New York in 2016 and 2017, in 2021 in Paris, and now once again for the 2022 Global Citizen Festival: NYC! As a Global Citizen Ambassador, I’ve seen firsthand the impact we can make when we come together and take action to end extreme poverty. Global Citizens all around the world have taken over 30.4 million actions to support this mission, and those actions have impacted 1.15 billion lives worldwide. But this work is more urgent now than ever. Take action NOW for girls, for the planet, and to end poverty, and join me on Sept. 24 in Central Park!”

In an interview with an international news agency, an excited Priyanka also stated that she feels like she has become part of the family since it is her seventh year with Global Citizen, and she wants to make sure that the revolution and movement keep moving. Priyanka also added that she is looking forward to welcoming the Jonas brothers into the fold. The popular actor said that along with her husband Nick she always has been philanthropically inclined and it is great to cross the paths together as it feels very strongly, especially as a family.

Meanwhile, in the New York part of the festival, celebrated artists like the Jonas Brothers, Mariah Carey, Metallica, Maneskin, Rosalia, Mickey Guyton and Charlie Puth will perform live. The second half of the event will happen in Accra, where H.E.R., Usher, SZA, Tems, Stormzy, Gyakie, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy will perform.
