The Daily News reported on the gathering of a star-studded jamboree and an impassioned plea to end poverty rocked the Great Lawn in Central Park as more than 60,000 fans gathered Saturday for the fourth-annual Global Citizen Festival.
The feel-good event, timed to coincide with the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, featured performances by Beyoncé, Pearl Jam, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay.
Attendees nabbed tickets by pledging to take part in the “action journey,” as part of The Global Poverty Project, which aims to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030, raise awareness about climate change, and advance educational resources for women.
