Janet Jackson headlined the festival alongside The Weeknd, Janelle Monáe, Shawn Mendes, and Cardi B. “In the year of Madiba’s centenary, let us honour the life and legacy of this great leader by heeding the call to active, participant citizenry, in which each citizen feels valued, and their contribution called upon, so that all of us can be part of the creation of a better world,” Lindiwe Sisulu, South African minister of defense and military veterans, told the crowd. Take Action: Sign the Year of Mandela Declaration and Commit to Be the Generation to End Extreme Poverty Nelson Mandela’s legacy was also continuously invoked throughout the evening to honor the 100th year since the legendary human rights activist was born. 'I'm sick, I'm repulsed, I'm infuriated by the double standards that continue to threaten women as second-class citizens. WATCH: Janet Jackson at #GlobalCitizen Festival: Those powerful words echoed throughout the night as performers, activists, and world leaders called for an end to cash bail, sexist laws, education inequality, and other injustices at the 2018 Global Citizen Festival on Saturday. “Equality is our demand, action is our answer,” she added. “Enough injustice, enough bigotry, mistreatment,” Janet Jackson told the crowd gathered on Central Park’s Great Lawn for the 2018 Global Citizen Festival. Over the course of a month over 2.1 million actions made by Global Citizens pushed leaders to make commitments for change. Global Citizens, including activists and music fans, gather every year to call on world leaders to achieve the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development and end extreme poverty.
