Congressional Action Needed By March 11th to Vaccinate the World, Conclusively Stop COVID-19, and Pandemic-Proof the Planet!
Delta and Omicron have proven that COVID anywhere is COVID everywhere.
March 11th is the 3rd anniversary of WHO’s pandemic declaration. It is also the date that Congress will vote on whether or not to vaccinate the world and fund a global pandemic prevention fund.
We are doing everything we can to make sure Congress passes the funds we need to for global vaccines to conclusively stop COVID-19 variants and pandemic-proof the planet. We are organizing huge numbers of grassroots meetings with Members of Congress and protesting in multiple cities. Can you help by writing to your Congressional Representative and Senators today demanding they take action?
We will automatically email your letter right away. For select Members of Congress, we’ll also print all the letters out and bring them to their doorstep, asking them to step up, stop COVID, and keep us safe in the future.
In September, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris hosted a White House Global COVID Summit, where they pledged to lead a global drive to reach 70% vaccinations worldwide by Sept. 2022, and also committed $1.1 billion in seed funding for a multilateral pandemic prevention fund.
The Biden Administration has already made important commitments. Now, Congress must step up and provide the funds needed to deliver on these promises, and hold the President accountable. This has to be done by March 11th!
The belated request by the White House last week for only $5 billion for global vaccines was a start, but deeply insufficient. We are calling on Congress to take ACTION. The supplemental budget must include $17 billion as a U.S. contribution towards global vaccinations. It should also include $850 million for a global pandemic fund, fulfilling Vice President Harris’s strategic pledge of $1.1 billion
We only have a matter of DAYS to make our demands around global vaccines and pandemic preparedness heard. It is down to the wire and we are pulling out all the stops to ensure that Congress hears our demands. Thank you for joining the fight.
