During her performance at the The Global Citizen festival on Saturday, Doja Cat delivered a speech addressing global crises.

“Right now, millions of men, women, and children in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, and all across the world are suffering,” she said, as reported by The Citizen. She urged the audience to use their voices to support those affected by conflict.

“Please keep using your voice to help those fleeing violence get the food, shelter, and education they need and very, very much deserve,” she said, adding: “There is beauty and strength in all of you watching this and who choose to be here tonight, and this is our time to put it into what matters most, and that is life.”
