The global community urgently needs your voice to pressure the Biden Administration in favor of vaccine equity! The White House is actively considering supporting the “Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights” (TRIPS) waiver at the WTO. This waiver is a crucial step in removing unnecessary barriers to scaling up global vaccine production. The longer widespread vaccine access is limited to rich nations, the more time there is for viral mutations to develop that don’t respond to current vaccines. 

None of us are safe until we are all safe! Please pressure your Member of Congress to put human lives over private pharmaceutical profits! tinyurl.com/TRIPSwaiver
