(door bell rings) it's ohey. this is amazing. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

chant. go with it. good morning, australia, aussie! aussie. you guys, welcome, australia, welcome the world to central park. let me turn that off. you don't want to have a look at my back pocket on there. you really don't. well, thank you, but no, they don't. we have the most incredible, huge show for you all tonight. i'm not just talking about the world class performance. i am talking about activists and leaders that are here to remind us tonight that we are all part of a global phenomenon. it is a phenomenon of citizens standing up for what is right and demanding real tangible change within cultures and societies of all kinds, all over the world. we are part of that phenomenon.

one that cannot and will not be stopped. are you with me? this year, this year marks what would have been the hundredth birthday of one of the greatest global citizens of all time, nelson mandela. in one of his last speeches, one of his last public speeches, mandela said, like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. it is manmade, and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. sometimes, it falls upon a generation to be great. you can be that great generation. so this year we want you -- no, we need you to be the generation to take action. so please, take a look at what citizens all over the world are doing to step up and to take action.

we are a global generation. when we come together big things happen. and the world's biggest challenges get smaller. global citizen is a movement for the global generation to end extreme poverty. take action today, and ensure governments, businesses and nonprofits all play their part. every action you take earns you points and a chance to winfrey concert tickets. join us and be the generation to end extreme poverty. please welcome rachel brosnahan, cal penn and robert de niro. >> hi, guys. you look great! so last weekend i was at the global citizen rally with mr. de

niro in central park, and we witnessed the power that comes when we bring our voices together to be the generation to create social change, voting gives us the ability to tell our leaders to defend the issues that matter most to us. and it also allows us to amplify the voices of those who are too often unheard. >> there has never been a better time to show up for what you feel matters and bring along your mom, bring your best friend, bring your grandma, bring your grandma's best friend. grandmas have best friends, by the way. remind them that their vote is their voice. >> and it's not just the upcoming midterms that matter, it is every single election. state, local, national, your student council, vote in that too. >> that's a very good point. the representatives that we elect in every part of our lives represent our vision for our communities and our world.

>> and reminding everyone that you know that your vote is your voice you have the power to make the world a better place. >> look, look at all of you. you're at this amazing concert because you took your responsibility as global citizens seriously. you took the time to join with other citizens to make a difference. now we're asking you to take your responsibility as u.s. citizens seriously by voting. voting is how we tell our government what we want and what we don't want. put it another way, voting is how we hire and we fire our

leaders. right? guess what? they're not our bosses, we -- we are their bosses. if we think they're doing a good job, we can keep them in their jobs. if there's someone we like better, we can hire them. and if we don't like the job they're doing we can fire them. you've got the power. now please use it. join with michelle obama and her when we all vote initiative to ask you to register and vote. get your friends to vote. and if they don't, get new friends. then get your relatives to vote. and if they don't, get new relatives. let's get started. take out your phones and open your messaging app.

text to this number, this number, 97779. type these words. we all vote, v-o-t-e. now hit send. we'll send you the information you need to take back the power. it's up to you. you are the bosses. >> right now, one in five eligible people in this country are not even registered to vote. and i know it's not because people don't care. we all care. the only way to make change in this country is to get out and vote for the change you're looking for. what if this year we actually did that? what if this year every eligible american decided to step up and be a voter? what can actually happen when we all vote? imagine the kind of leaders we can elect. >> leaders who were committed to creating a better world for my

girls. >> when we all vote we have the power to shape the future. >> my father was deported when i was 8 years old. if you can vote, you should vote. when we all vote, we translate our dreams into change. >> register to vote today, not tomorrow, not the next day, but today. >> that means all of us. >> when we all vote, that's how change happens in america. i love you all so much, let's get it done. please welcome actress, singer and song writer cynthia arevo and film director, producer and writer ava duvernay. >> tyrone, 53, was arrested after being stopped and frisked, unconstitutionally. he could not afford the $1,000 bail set after the police claimed he was in possession of heroin residue in a straw.

later the drug report indicated there were no drugs. it was just a straw. >> kevin, 15, was at the scene of a fight that resulted in two people being stabbed. he never held a knife. he was just there. bail was set at $1,000. >> shawnta, 54, arrested for taking $5 body wash from a drugstore. $1,000 bail. she was kept locked up on -- for a month. by the time she was released she was evicted and lost her home. >> they are just a fraction of the larger picture, behind us are some of the people who in the past two weeks alone have been unable to afford their bail. >> tonight in america half a million people will sleep in a jail cell, but too four to afford the price of freedom. >> justice for these men and women is a privilege only the

wealthy enjoy. cash bail is the criminalization of poverty hitting communities of color the hardest. >> it is the hidden enemy driving america's mass incarceration epidemic, responsible for 99% of all incarceration growth in this country for the past 15 years. but there's hope. >> thousands of you in the past two months have spoken up for your fellow citizens, and your voices have been heard. new york is a beacon of hope when it comes to bail reform, which is why you called on governor cuomo to support the legislation this state and this nation needs so badly. please welcome new york governor andrew cuomo. >> how great is it to be in new york today? boy, you are a good looking group. today i want you to join me in calling for equal justice and

equal justice starts in a place 225 miles to the south in washington, d.c. where we just had a revolting week where we saw un-american policies take place. we want equal justice for dr. christine blasey ford and for all victims of sexual assault. we want equal justice and a full investigation for supreme court nominees, not investigations of limited time, not investigations of limited scope, equal justice means equal justice and it means before you put a person on the supreme court to administer justice, we want to make sure justice is done. and equal justice means

regardless of the color of your skin, regardless of your wealth, you deserve justice. and a cash bail system violates justice. it's that simple. cash bail means that if you are rich, then you get to walk. and if you are poor, and you can't make bail, then you sit in jail. in new york city the jail is rykers island. 86% of the people there are people of color. 76% of the people in rykers have been found guilty of nothing. they are just awaiting their day in court. many waiting for two or three years. that is not justice. rykers island is a hell hole and it has to be closed and it has to be closed now.

that is what justice is about. in america you are still innocent until proven guilty, and that's whether you're black or white, whether you're rich or poor, we're going to end the cash bail system once and for all. we're going to do it in new york, and we're going to do it this year. we have to have more alternatives to incarceration, strict timelines on court dates, and we have to eliminate the racial bias that is pervasive in our criminal justice system. as governor of the state of new york, i can't tell you how proud i am to have closed more prisons than any governor in the history of the state. and i'm not done yet. new york -- new york state is going to be the progressive

beacon for this nation at a time when we see an extreme conservative movement in washington new york is going to show the path forward. we believe that justice is an all encompassing concept. we need social justice, racial justice, economic justice. it all works together. a $15 minimum wage so people can afford to live. fair treatment for the lgbtq community. protecting all from discrimination and welcoming all immigrants to the united states of america! justice is ending. the injustice in our education system where we still have one education system for the rich and one education for the poor. it is border line insanity my

friends that we still as a society pay $50,000 per year for a prison cell, the same thing you pay for a semester at harvard university. let's get smart. invest in education, invest in training, invest in treatment. but let's stop locking people up. our message today is simple. and we want washington to hear us. enough is enough. equal justice for all. start with justice for dr. ford, and justice for this state and this nation. thank you and god bless you. ♪ please welcome -- countries that we traveled- "what is your nationality?"

to me it is so great you're here and you're not singing. and i thought that was pretty accurate. fortunately for you i don't have to sing, but i do want to introduce some people and i want you to sing for them. my job is to tell you about these wonderful people doing amazing things in the area of incarceration and justice. and so i'd like to welcome on stage nancy and from the robert f. kennedy center kerry kennedy. and my friend ishmael from the fortune society who will talk to you. ishmael just turned 30 today. he is someone who has been through some crazy things and is doing great. and i said maybe we could ask you to sing happy birthday to ishmael. here he is. he is 30 years old. so we'll sing. thank you for everything that you are doing. we'll sing to you now. ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday

dear ishmael, happy birthday to you ♪ >> wow, thank you. that was amazing. thank you. so let's dive right in. on any given day, america incarcerates 50,000 youth, our children. i emphasize, our children. before i turned 18, i spent approximately 400 days, 300 of which in the solitary kinment, in the notorious rikers island. jails and prisons are places where they experience trauma.

>> i was in rikers island for over two years simply because i could not afford the ransom on my freedom. nearly 90 pfrs thos% of those id are black or latino, only 53% of new yorkers are black or latino. i'm here to ask you to join the mass bailout and effort to free hundreds of legally innocent women and 50 children jailed at rikers island within a matter of weeks. and it starts monday! let's do this. >> 80% of the people on rikers have not been convicted of a crime. yet they are sitting in a cage simply because they can't afford bail. if you are rich and you get

arrested, you pay bhail and you go home to your family, to your school, to your career. but if you can't afford bail, then for the exact same thing, you don't go home. instead they rush you to jail. they lock you in a cage. they tear you from your family, your school, your job. if you are enduring poverty in this country, you lose your right to be innocent until proven guilty. that is a crime. poverty is not a crime. go to mass bailout.com and help us make history. thank you. >> thank you! >> thank you. >> please welcome actor and

advocate katie holmes. >> since blazing on to the world stage with his debut album get lifted in 2004, our very special guest performer has been a tireless champion of social justice around the globe. he is the first man of color in history to have won an emmy, grammy, oscar and tony. ladies and gentlemen, john legend. ♪ ♪ old pirates, yes, they rob i sold i to the merchant ships ♪ ♪ minutes after they took i
