Die-in at White House During Merkel’s Visit (Feat Giant Merkel Puppet)
Start: Thursday, July 15, 2021• 9:00 AM
This Thursday, protesters will meet outside the White House as President Joe Biden meets with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This summit gives us a unique opportunity to end Germany’s blockade of the #TRIPSWaiver – which would help ensure people’s lives and livelihoods are prioritized over Big Pharma greed.
We will display body bags representing the global number of COVID-19 deaths since the TRIPS waiver was first proposed in October 2020. An oversized Merkel puppet will bear witness to the sad reality that Delay=Death.
WHAT: Die-in at White House During Merkel’s Visit (Featuring Giant Merkel Puppet)
WHEN: Thursday, July 15 at 9 a.m. ET
WHERE: Lafayette Square (H St and Black Lives Matter Plaza NW)
Please RSVP so we know how many people to expect!
