While COVID-19 vaccination rates soar in the US and Europe, only 0.3% of people in low-income countries have had their first shot.  Communities across the global South are facing terrifying new waves of preventable death and sickness with virtually no protection or treatment.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is one of the only global leaders still blocking a plan to suspend drug companies’ intellectual property rights that’s needed to rapidly scale up vaccine production and save lives.  

JOIN US for a protest and press conference.  Speakers include Rep. Jan Schakowsky, AFA-CWA President Sara Nelson, Oxfam America President Abby Maxman and others.  For more info, please email Mgroch@citizen.org.
