>>> WELCOME TO THE 2020 GLOBAL
CITIZEN PRIZE, CELEBRATING
INSPIRING ACTIVISTS WHO HAVE
GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE
THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
AND IN 2020, BOY, DID WE NEED
THEIR HELP
THIS YEAR'S PRIZEWINNERS ARE
DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO
GIVE VULNERABLE PEOPLE AROUND
THE WORLD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE
A SAFE, FAIR AND JUST LIFE
YOU'RE ABOUT TO MOTEEET THEM
THEY RANGE FROM A WORLD LEADER
TO A VISIONARY, TO A BUSINESSMAN
TO A BIG BIRD.
YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN
EXTRAORDINARY NIGHT.
CHECK OUT WHO'S WITH US.
JOHN OLIVER, NICK JONAS AND
ALESSIA CARA AND JOJO.
AND I'M EXCITED TO BE SINGING
MYSELF WITH A COUPLE OF MY
FRIENDS, COMMON AND CARRIE
UNDERWOOD.
NOW LET'S GET TO OUR FIRST AWARD
OF THE NIGHT
THIS YEAR'S WINNER FOR GLOBAL
CITIZEN OF THE YEAR IS SOMEONE
WHO'S DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO PEEP
LOST
PEEPLE LOST IN A BROKEN WORLD.
>> THIS YEAR'S RECIPIENT HAS
MADE AN IMPACT ON THOSE WHO DO
NOT HAVE A VOICE
THE UNITED STATES HAS THE
LARGEST PRISON POPULATION IN THE
WORLD, WITH BLACK AMERICANS 5.1
AMOUNT OF THOSE THAT ARE WHITE
BRYAN STEVENSON FOUNDED THE
GROUP TO REPRESENT THOSE
FORGOTTEN IN THE SYSTEM.
HIS IMPACT ON THE VULNERABLE
COMMUNITY IS PROFOUND AN
..
TO GIVE A VOICE TO THOSE
SILENCED AROUND OUR COUNTRY.
HERE IS THE GLOBAL CITIZEN OF
THE YEAR, BRYAN STEVENSON, IN
CONVERSATION WITH USHER.
>> BRYAN STEPHENSON, MAN,
AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART
OF THIS.
YOU'RE RECEIVING THE PRIZE OF
GLOBAL CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
>> I'M SO HONORED BY THIS AWARD
AND THIS RECOGNITION
ON BEHALF OF EVERYBODY AT THE
EQUAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE WHO'VE
BEEN FIGHTING THIS FIGHT FOR A
LONG TIME, WE REALLY HUMBLED BY
THIS
>> SO WHAT CONSPIRACIEDSPURRED T
>> I DIDN'T APPRECIATE ALL THE
DAMAGE BEING DONE.
WE HAD POLITICIANS DEBATING
CRIME POLICY IN THIS COUNTRY AND
THEY WERE DEBATING AS IF THEY
COULD PUT CRIMES IN JAILS AND
SENTENCES.
THE TRUTH IS, WE CAN'T PUT
CRIMES IN JAILS OR PRISONS
WE PUT PEOPLE IN JAILS AND
PRISONS.
I WANTED TO CREATE A SPACE TO
FOCUS ON PROVIDING SERVICES TO
THE MOST VULNERABLE.
THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR THAT
>> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU
FEEL BEST AFFECTS CHANGE
>> I THINK YOU HAVE TO GET
PROXIMATE.
YOU CANNOT STAY ISOLATED FROM
WHERE THE PROBLEMS ARE
I THINK THAT ALL OF US HAVE TO
FOIPD
FIND WAYS TO GET CLOSER TO
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING INEQUALITY
AND INJUSTICE.
WE WILL NEVER PREVAIL IN
CHANGING THE WORLD IF WE ONLY DO
THE THINGS THAT ARE COMFORTABLE
AND CONVENIENT
>> I READ AN ARTICLE FROM 25
YEARS AGO IN WHICH YOU SAID YOU
ONLY STOPPED FIGHTING WHEN THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS FAIRLY FOR
EVERYONE
DO YOU STILL FEEL THAT WAY AFTER
ALL YOU'VE SEEN AND ARE YOU
STILL AS OPTIMISTIC AND HOPEFUL
FOR THE FUTURE
?
>> I AM.
FOR ME, IT'S PART OF AN
ORIENTATION.
DR. KING AND MRS. PARKS DIDN'T
SING "WE SHALL OVERCOME" JUST TO
HAVE A SONG TO SING.
THEY SANG IT BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVE THAT
AND I FEEL SIMILARLY EMPOIRWERED
AND ENCOURAGED BECAUSE I'M
SURROUNDED BY THE PEOPLE I WORK
WITH AND PEOPLE I SERVE, AND
WE'RE STILL SINGING "WE SHALL
OVERCOME."
IF WE KEEP FIGHTING, WE WILL GET
IT
>> THANK YOU, BRYAN.
UNTIL NEXT TIME.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S GREAT SEEING YOU, MY
FRIEND

PRIZE FOR BUSINESS LEADER HONORS
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO TURNED A
MOMENT OF PERSONAL CRISIS INTO A
MOMENT THAT IS SAVING LIVES.
SHE'S JOINED IN CONVERSATION BY
KATIE COURIC
>> IN NIGERIA LIKE SO MANY
PLACES AROUND THE WORLD,
HOSPITALS CAN LACK THE BASIC
SUPPLIES NEEDED TO SAVE A MOTHER
OR UNBORN CHILD IF THE
COMPLICATION ARISES.
THE LACK OF ACCESS TO SUPPLIES
LIKE BLOOD IS ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY THE MATERNAL DEATHS OCCUR.
SHE DECIDED TO TAKE ON A PROBLEM
THAT HAD SEEMED UNSOLVABLE
SHE CREATED AN EXTRAORDINARY
ORGANIZATION CALLED LIFEBANK,
USING MAPPING TECHNOLOGY TO
SOURCE AND DELIVER ESSENTIAL
MEDICAL PRODUCTS TO AFRICAN
HOSPITALS.
THE WINNER OF THE 2020 GLOBAL
CITIZEN PRIZE FOR BUSINESS
LEADER, TAIMIE
HOW DOES IT FEEL
>> IT FEELS AMAZING.
I'M JUST SO GLAD I WORK HERE AND
AFRICA HAS BEEN HONORED IN THIS
AMAZING WAY.
>> I KNOW YOU WERE RAISED IN
NIGERIA, AND YOUR PARENTS MOVED
TO MINNEAPOLIS WHEN WERE YOU A
TEENAGER
HOW DO YOUR MOM AND DAD FEEL
ABOUT YOUR WORK?
>> IN THE BEGINNING, MY MOM
DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND WHY I
WOULD LEAVE THIS AMAZING LIFE
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE KNEE
ME IN MINNEAPOLIS.
BUT I BROUGHT HER DOWN TO
NIGERIA AND SHOWED HER WHAT
WE'VE BEEN DOING AT LIFEBANK
THEY ARE INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE
>> THE IDEA TO CREATE LIFEBANK,
I KNOW, CAME FROM A PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE
WHAT HAPPENED, AND HOW DID IT
MOTIVATE YOU
>> ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, I HAD
A BABY BOY, AND I WAS VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE HIM IN THE UNITED
STATES
I HAD QUITE A LOT OF
COMPLICATIONS.
HE WAS BORN EARLY, BUT I GOT
ACCESS TO THE BEST HEALTH CARE
AND THAT WAS WHERE THIS PASSION
FOR HEALTH CARE BECAME MORE
PERSONAL, AND I FELT LIKE I
COULD HELP BUILD A SYSTEM THAT
DELIVERS SIMILAR TYPE OF CARE
THAT I GOT IN THE U.S. HERE IN
NIGERIA.
WHAT
.
>> WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE
FUTURE OF LIFEBANK
>> I HAVE GREAT BIG GIANT
AUDACIOUS DREAMS FOR LIFEBANK.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST A
NIGERIA PROBLEM OR AFRICAN
PROBLEM.
IT'S A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
FOR ME, THE WORK IS TO BUILD A
SCALABLE, FAST, GROWING BUSINESS
THAT CAN EXPAND TO ALL THESE
LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD,
AROUND THE GLOBE WHERE THIS
PROBLEM STILL EXISTS
CIVILIAN LIFE AND CIVILIAN LIFE
AND SKILL.
THAT IS THE DREAM.
>> WHAT DOES RECEIVING THE
GLOBAL CITIZEN PRIZE FOR
BUSINESS LEADER MEAN TO YOU?
>> I THINK IT VALIDATES THE
IMPACT THAT WE'VE HAD ON HUMAN
LIFE ACROSS NIGERIA AND KENYA.
I THINK IT, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN
HONOR TO OUR RIDERS WHO ARE OUT
THERE 24/7, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
WE'RE CONSTANTLY GIVING CRITICAL
TECHNOLOGY THAT POWERS WHAT WE
DO
I HAPPENED TO BE THE ONE WHO
RECEIVED THE PRIZE AS THE LEADER
OF THE BUSINESS, BUT I THINK
IT'S A PRIZE FOR ALL OF US AT
LIFEBANK

SINGS WITH
>>> WHEN THIS WORLD LEADER CAME
TO POWER 12 MONTHS AGO, SHE HAD
NO IDEA HOW EUROPE AND THE WORLD
WOULD CHANGE ON HER WATCH.
AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMISSION, SHE REPRESENTS 27
COUNTRIES AND A COLLECTIVE
ECONOMY OF ALMOST $20 TRILLION
TODAY SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL LEADERS IN EUROPE AND
ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE OF
COVID-19
IN BRUSSELS, AMID THE CRISIS, IT
WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL.

ON HER DESK.

IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE PRETTY
WELL SITUATED TO DEAL WITH WHAT
2020 HAS BROUGHT US.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE TAKING OVER THE
EUROPEAN COMMISSION IN SUCH A
CRAZY TIME
>> I REMEMBER VERY WELL A YEAR
AGO WHEN I STARTED AS THE
PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMISSION, THE WORLD WAS
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS WAS
UNPRECEDENTED FOR ALL OF US.
AND YET AS A MEDICAL DOCTOR I
MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME ADVANTAGES
IN UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS
AND CHALLENGES OF THE PANDEMIC
BUT HAVING SAID THAT, FOR ME,
THERE IS NO DOUBT THIS DOUBLE
CRISIS, IT IS A DOUBLE CRISIS.
THE HEALTH AND THE ECONOMIC
CRISIS OF UNPRECEDENTED SCALE IS
DEFINITELY THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
IN MY LIFE, AND YOU CAN ONLY BE
PREPARED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT TO
DEAL WITH THE CRISIS LIKE THIS
>> ANOTHER BIG AGENDA FOR YOU
HAS BEEN TO ENCOURAGE THE
ADOPTION OF THE SO-CALLED
EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THAT IS AND
WHY YOU THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
>> WELL, PLANEIN AND SIMPLY
BECAUSE TIME IS UP
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A CRISIS THAT
THREATENS THE ABILITY OF MAN
KIND TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET.
AS GLOOMY AS THE PICTURE IS, THE
GOOD NEWS IS, IT'S UP TO US TO
BRING ABOUT CHANGE AND WE JUST
HAVE TO GATHER OUR COURAGE AND
ACT BOLD AND SMART
>> WE'RE STILL, GOD KNOWS, IN
THE MIDDLE OF THIS PANDEMIC.
BUT WHAT IS THE BIGGEST LESSON
YOU'VE LEARNED FROM MANAGING
THIS IN EUROPE
>> WELL, NIKOLAJ, THE LESSON I
HAVE LEARNED IS UNITY PAYS OFF
WE'VE LEARNED FOR EXAMPLE HERE
IN EUROPE THAT WHEN WE JOIN
FORCES WE GET BETTER AT
CONTAINING THE VIRUS
THE IT
IT SAVES LIVES
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT WE'VE
LEARNED.
>> THIS AWARD, THE GLOBAL
CITIZEN FOR A WORLD LEADER, WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU
>> NIKOLAJ, I'M DEEPLY HONORED,
AND I'M TRULY HUMBLED TO RECEIVE
THIS PRIZE
BECAUSE I KNOW THIS PRIZE IS A
PRIZE FOR ALL OF US.
FOR MY GREAT, GREAT TEAM WHICH
HAVE BEEN IN THIS WITH ME FROM
DAY ONE ON, AND YOU HAVE MY WORD
THAT TEAM EUROPE STAYS ON THE
BALL

CELEBRATE, AND WE'LL DO THAT, WE

>> MANY PEOPLE DON'T REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT THEATMOSPHERE WA
LIKE THAT LED TO THE ELTON JOHN
AIDS FOUNDATION.
CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH IT
>> IT WAS AWFUL.
DURING THE 1980s, IT WAS A GAY
PLAGUE
AND IT TOOK A YOUNG BOY, RYAN
WHITE, TO BRING ATTENTION TO IT.
IT WAS A TIPPING POINT, AND
THINGS BEGAN TO CHANGE
I MADE A COUPLE OF ENEFITS, A
RECORD
I DIDN'T DO ENOUGH AS A GAY MAN
TO, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, I
SHOULD HAVE MARCHED.
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE
POLITICAL THAN I WAS
SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS DIED. SEW
I WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
FOR NOT JUST GAY PEOPLE BUT
EVERYBODY.
I SET UP THE ORGANIZATION.
AS THE DISEASE HAS EVOEFED,LVED,
WE'VE CHANGED TO TARGETING
MARGINALIZED GROUPS AROUND THE
WORLD, AND NOW WE HAVE A COVID
EMERGENCY FUND TO COPE WITH BOTH
PANDEMICS AT ONCE.
OUR MOTTO IS "NOBODY GETS LEFT
BEHIND."
>> YOU'VE WON A LOT OF AWARDS
OVER THE YEARS, NOT JUST WITH
YOUR FOUNDATION, BUT SO MANY
ACCOLADES WITH YOUR TALENT, BUT
WHY IS BEING GIVEN THE GLOBAL
CITIZEN ARTIST OF THE WORLD
PRIZE MEAN SO MUCH TO YOU, WHAT
MAKES IT SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT
>> IT'S SO AMAZING
I'M GRATEFUL THAT PEOPLE KNOW
ABOUT THE ELTON JOHN AIDS
FOUNDATION
BUT FOR ME, IT REMINDS ME OF ALL
THE WORK YET TO DO
WE'VE GOT OUR FOOT ON THE
ACCELERATOR.
WE CAN NOT TAKE IT OFF
IF THE MESSAGE IS BY GETTING
THIS AWARD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FROM A 73-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO STILL
WANTS TO WORK TIRELESSLY FOR
THIS THAT I NEED YOU YOUNG
PEOPLE WITH ME
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE FUTURE OF
THE WORLD.
WE WANT THE YOUNG PEOPLE TO PASS
THE MESSAGE ON
IF I'VE GOT YOU BY MY SIDE I
THINK WE CAN BEAT THIS
?
