United Nations approves Global Development Goals after Pope speaks to General Assembly

.

If you get a chance, watch the festival and concert tomorrow from Central Park in NYC.  Today the United Nations votes on the Global goals to wipe out extreme poverty by 2030 along with many other initiatives like freedom, education, health care, climate control, justice, etc.  MSNBC will be broadcasting live from Central Park beginning at 3 pm tomorrow and Sunday night I think NBC and BBC will broadcast worldwide an edited version of the concert.  It is a massive undertaking to reach 7 billion people in 7 days. Today the Pope talked about it at the United Nations. 

TODAY IS THE DAY...TODAY, in this very building, the #GlobalGoals will be signed by 193 presidents, prime ministers...

CPT Twit - A Pope and Two Presidents - three most powerful leaders of the world - here now

.

What a rare occasion when the three most powerful people in the world are in America for meetings. For this week Pope Francis, President Obama, and Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife First Lady Peng Liyuan congregate on Washington, D.C. and New York City for talks that could shape the future of the world.

First Pope Francis came calling after a triumphant visit to Cuba on the way, with his message of hope, peace, and compassion electrifying the crowds and knocking politics out of the news.

At the same time the Pope was landing in Washington, D.C., Chinese President Jinping and his wife were landing in Seattle on their way to our nation's capital, first for meetings with Bill Gates and prominent American industrialists.

All three will be attending the United Nations General Assembly in NYC in what could be a historic gathering to adopt the Global Goals initiative to wipe out poverty and address sixteen other major issues over the next fifteen years.

This is such a historic gathering here in America it makes one want to break out in song.
