[link removed] Dear friends,
Trump just halted all funding for the World Health Organisation… in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic!
It's sickening. Without the WHO's critical work across the world, tens of thousands of people could die. Key governments are meeting right NOW for emergency talks -- let's send them a deafening call to save the WHO and ensure any treatments and vaccines are available for all who need them most!
Sign and share now -- when this is massive, we'll deliver our voices with ads in media around the world to stand against this selfishness, and demand the global response we need!
Sign here to save the WHO!

To all the world's governments:
"We condemn President Trump’s decision to suspend funding to the WHO, and urgently call on you to ensure the WHO, and all other international organisations leading the response to this pandemic, are properly funded, and any vaccine or treatment is developed and distributed in a fair and equitable manner. This virus affects us all and we’re in this fight together. We must meet this common threat with cooperation, and our common humanity must shine through in our response."

We're already seeing countries hoarding medical supplies, and we don't even have a vaccine yet. If organisations like the WHO lose funding, and rich countries compete rather than cooperate, this crisis will become a catastrophe.
This is a global crisis and we need a global response -- no country should be left behind.
And it's not just about the WHO -- we need to cooperate across the globe to share medical supplies to come out of this stronger.
G20 governments and EU leaders are holding emergency talks to plan the global response to this pandemic. Sign this massive call now, and let's demand our leaders launch an urgent global alliance to save the WHO and save lives everywhere:
Sign here to save the WHO!

The coronavirus is scary, but we're all in this together and right now our collective voices are more powerful than ever. Let's help protect as many lives as possible now and make sure something beautiful can blossom from this crisis. We've never believed more in our global community -- we can do this together.
With fierce hope,
Risalat, Christoph, Sarah, Alaphia, Bert, Luis and the rest of the Avaaz team
