Pop icon and human rights activist Cyndi Lauper will receive the United Nations' inaugural High Note Global Prize award, given to artists who use their music and platforms to advocate for social justice.

Kesha will be on hand to present the "True Colors" singer with the award at Lauper's own annual Home for the Holidays benefit concert in Los Angeles on Dec. 10, which is worldwide Human Rights Day. She's being recognized for her lifelong advocacy for the LGBTQ community, including with True Colors United, the nonprofit organization she co-founded in 2008 to work toward ending homelessness among LGBTQ youth.

Of the 4.2 million youth and young adults who experience some form of homelessness in the U.S. every year, up to 40% of them are LGBTQ, according to a 2019 report from True Colors United. The nonprofit offers an array of resources including training and education, technical assistance, advocacy and youth collaboration programs to prevent youth homelessness, while focusing on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people.
