Building on the success of the digital series “One World: Together at Home,” Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO) are partnering for a special one-night event of the same name to air across NBC, ABC, CBS and other global networks including 10 in Australia and digital platforms on Sunday morning 10am April 19 on the east coast of Australia (Saturday night in the US).
