Stand Up for Ukraine (globalcitizen.org)

 

A Global Social Media Rally Driving Billions for Refugee Relief

Join us on April 8 to stand up for refugees and call for action.

 

I wonder if it's some kind of benefit and if she will join with performing a song?

[CelineDionFreak]

It would make sense her easing her way back into the spotlight! This could very well lead into a Vegas announcement here in the next few weeks. Just curious to see what she’ll be saying soon!

[scielle]

Well, it’s being organized by the European Commission and the Canadian Government, so perhaps Céline got a call from Justin to help out.

“The campaign will culminate in a pledging event on 9 April, co-hosted by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The aim is to raise funds and mobilise support more broadly, to cater for the needs of internally displaced people and of refugees.”

Hmm. Don’t know if this will be more similar to some of the initial Covid fundraisers and online pledges where it was basically just a series of tweets and maybe a big group video of artists/celebs/world leaders reciting a message or a hashtag or if it’s going to be similar to the global citizen event in 2020 with actual artist performances. Only time will tell

Yes, I suspect it’s just a social media push for pledges but regardless, very glad to see Céline involved.

As am I. One of the things I’ve enjoyed seeing and experiencing since Rene finished his tenure as her manager, and even more so after he passed, was Celine becoming far more engaged socially and (to an extent) politically. Even when she would be involved with something humanitarian it would seem… I don’t know, a little stilted or reserved? Nowadays I’m much more happy seeing her actively engage with social and political issues

[comingback]

I hope she will join and will sing a song. Imagine would be perfect.

Celebrities singing Imagine has now become something extremely poorly received and is sneered at. So possibly not. She’d be safer going for something like Courage or (more likely if she was to do one of her own) Because You Loved Me and dedicate it to the children and parents displaced by the conflict

Yes courage would fit well, would be great if she would sing courage and because you loved me or the prayer

Imagine an actual live performance from Resords World with all the effects etc! That would be aweseome And it would also hint to her new residency

On April 8, stars from across the entertainment and sports sectors will join together for Stand Up for Ukraine, a social media movement that boasts a who’s who of participants including Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, Adam Durica, Aitana, Alanis Morissette, Alejandro Sanz, Alexandra Stan, Angélique Kidjo, Annie Lennox, Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Celine Dion, Chris Isaak, Chris Rock, Demi Lovato, Elton John and David Furnish, FINNEAS, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Gloria Steinem, Green Day, Herbert Grönemeyer, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness, Igo, Jon Batiste, Jonas Brothers, Juanes, Kacey Musgraves, Katy Perry, Leon Bridges, Luke Combs, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Mirai, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Pharrell Williams, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ryan Tedder, Sarsa, Shaquille O’Neal, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, Tame Impala, U2, Usher, Vito Bambino and Young Leosia.

 

On that day, it’s hoped anyone who logs onto social media will be swamped with messages from entertainers and activists calling for tangible support for Ukraine and a solution to the humanitarian crisis that continues to escalate following the Russian army’s invasion on Feb. 24. The pledging summit intends to rally people on social media to pressure government and corporate leaders to provide additional emergency funding needed to help the millions displaced by the invasion in Ukraine and other conflicts around the world including Yemen, South Sudan and Afghanistan.

 

Powered by Global Citizen, the Stand Up for Ukraine summit was unveiled Saturday (March 26) by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and is intended to play much more than a feel-good role in these difficult times. With the social movement spanning the globe, it’s hoped the hearts, minds and wallets of the world will open up for refugees and drive billions of dollars in aid.

 

“Millions of people are fleeing the bombs falling on Ukrainian cities,” comments President Ursula von der Leyen. “The world must stand up for them. The European Union is catering for the needs of the millions of refugees it hosts. And we will further step up. But so much is needed – and the brave people of Ukraine deserve solidarity from citizens and states around the globe. Together, we can give them a safe home and bring some light in their lives at this dark hour.”

 

Some 12 million people need assistance currently because of the war in Ukraine, according to UNHCR. More than 6.5 million are displaced internally. And in less than three weeks, over 3.2 million people have left Ukraine and fled into neighboring countries, including nearly 2 million women and children.

 

“History has shown us that conflict and poverty are closely interconnected, resulting in the weakening of the rule of law, a collapse in economic development and often catastrophic humanitarian situations,” said Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans. “There is no doubt that the conflict in Ukraine has led to a humanitarian crisis – members of Global Citizen saw this ourselves at the Ukrainian-Polish border. More than three million refugees have fled their homes, with millions more likely on their way.”

 

The music industry has moved en masse to condemn the actions of Russia, with all the leading players suspending or withdrawing their activities in the territories, including the three majors (Universal Music Group, Sony Music, Warner Music), Spotify, YouTube and Live Nation.

Interesting choice 😳

Interesting choice 😳

not the best song choice/title for that occasion

[Ukrfan]

Interesting choice

 

Isn't "surrender" in this song have a different meaning? Like "I give my old life to start a new one with you", not "i give up, no more fighting please"

[Angel2006]

Will this air on television or only online?

It's not sure if there's anything that could air, like performances or something are just speculation

[comingback]

I'm excited about tomorrow. What time (CET) will this event be on ? Edited April 7, 2022 at 04:36 PM by comingback

[comingback]

I think it will be a Social Media event:

 

 

 

I wouldn't be surprise, when Celine will post a video of Imagine (from the Courage Tour or London show 2019) with a message from her to donate.

You can also join the dozens of artists, actors, athletes, entertainers, and influencers who are taking part in the social media rally on April 8.

Finally we get to see her!!! She looks great. The break has done her well. I’m glad to finally see her.

 

Hopefully she filmed a Vegas announcement at the same time as this or a tour statement? Wishful thinking I’m sure but we will see. I just hope we get to see more of her here soon!

[AdrienneM]

She looks so gorgeous. It’s lovely to see her and very glad that she was part of something speaking out directly in support of Ukrainian, and all, refugees

[Nmj]

Hate to do it but I will… lol, Celine either is aging backwards from all that time off or looks like she had some work done, either way good for her. I think we will see Vegas announcement soon, resorts world has reposted and commented on her post almost instantly.
