Austin Rally to End COVID Monopolies
Student Week of Action for Global COVID Test & Treatment Access. Join us at UT Austin on October 4th.
Billions of people in low- and middle-income countries worldwide still don’t have access to the COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments that many Americans take for granted. This ongoing inequality is contributing to more and more avoidable deaths each day, and is responsible for the COVID variants that are prolonging hardships for everyone.
This fall, the Biden administration and other governments will be making major policy decisions about whether to support expanding global access to COVID tests and treatments — over the objections of pharmaceutical monopolies like Pfizer.
Students and others across the country will be taking action the week of October 3 – 7 to help build demand for the Biden administration to support partner demands on this issue immediately prior to a key World Trade Organization meeting. Please join us in Austin!
