[CTC] TRIPS waiver protests across the US timed with Merkel visit

Thu Jul 8 15:21:41 PDT 2021

Hi everyone:

Below are details on an incredible fourteen <https://www.citizenstrade.org/ctc/blog/2021/06/22/demonstrations-against-vaccine-apartheid-planned-during-german-chancellor-merkels-visit-to-us/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=9c3b74b0-fe7c-488e-bde3-ab6aef3cdded> TRIPS waiver protests happening at German consulates across the U.S. before and during Chancellor Merkel’s upcoming visit.  Merkel’s visit is very likely the single biggest moment for us in the United States to put direct pressure on the single biggest world leader obstructing the waiver.  Please help spread the word!

Among other festivities, there will also be a die-in outside the White House during Merkel’s visit at 9:00am on Thursday, July 15.  The meet up location is Lafayette Square (H St and Black Lives Matter Plaza NW).  Please let me know if you can attend that event.  RSVP links for the other actions happening coast to coast are below.

Thanks!

Dear friend, 

Can you please join us at an urgent protest in support of global access to COVID vaccines and treatments?

While Americans and Western Europeans increasingly have widespread access to COVID vaccination, huge numbers of people in low- and middle-income nations won't have access to vaccines for years unless global production is dramatically increased. 

 <https://default.salsalabs.org/Td113eba8-56e5-433d-b168-d2065020faca/3711fe60-95ac-47de-8f96-489a77868057>
To increase vaccine production, the vast majority of countries — including the United States — support waiving certain trade-related intellectual property rights (TRIPS) at the World Trade Organization so that COVID vaccines can be produced in as many places as possible as quickly as possible.  But Germany is blocking a final agreement. 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is coming to the United States next week — a rare opportunity for activists like you to directly increase the pressure on her to stop putting Big Pharma profits ahead of an end to the pandemic.

Please join us at a protest <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tffd2ce84-39c9-4807-abb4-625e734437e4/3711fe60-95ac-47de-8f96-489a77868057> below to tell the Chancellor that every day of delay on the TRIPS waiver means thousands more needless deaths and increased chances of a viral mutation that starts the pandemic all over again for everyone.

The global TRIPS waiver campaign has asked us to rise to this moment, and we need your help! 

Emergency Protests: Germany, Stop Blocking Global COVID Vaccines!
