WE Day took over the Forum in Inglewood, California, in April, but those who weren’t at the inspiring event will get the chance to experience the empowerment by watching the upcoming “WE Day Special” broadcast.
Hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, the event brought together thousands of youth, parents and educators who strive to make a difference in their communities, plus featured amazing performances and motivational speeches from Selena Gomez, Joe Jonas, Bill Nye, Pentatonix, Mahershala Ali, Natalie Portman, Hailee Steinfeld, Meghan Trainor and more.
“I am so inspired by the people who are celebrated in this year’s show for making an impact in their communities and beyond. As a Dad of two young children, I want my kids to grow up in a kinder, more compassionate world, and people like them are making that possible,” Harris said of the event in a press statement. “The WE organization empowers each of us to make a positive difference—teaching us compassion, inclusion, and to be proud of what makes us each unique. I’m proud to have played a small part in that movement.”
Watch the first trailer for the special below, and catch it on ABC on Friday, August 9, 2019 at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST.
