** Why you should join
------------------------------------------------------------
The global response to Covid-19 has been so unequal that some global south activists have called it ‘vaccine apartheid’. While those of us in the UK have been offered third and even fourth doses of the vaccine, across the whole of Africa only 11% are double jabbed.
This injustice is rooted in a colonial history that has devalued the lives of people in the global south over centuries. And it is reinforced by global economic rules designed to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of multinational corporations in the global north.
Big Pharma companies are making record-breaking profits while most people in low-income countries still haven’t received a single jab. And the British government is blocking demands by countries in the global south to break the covid monopolies that maintain the stranglehold of large pharmaceutical corporations over these medicines.
Join our Decolonise Vaccines speaker tour to find out how covid monopolies help Big Pharma rake in record breaking profits at the expense of people’s lives, how countries in the global south are fighting back against the profit-driven pharmaceutical system, and what we can do to transform the health system globally to dismantle colonial dynamics which date back centuries.

** Help ensure Covid-19 vaccines are available to everyone, everywhere
------------------------------------------------------------
It’s vitally important that Covid-19 vaccine patents are suspended during the pandemic, and for big pharma to share their know-how globally, as the best way of ensuring there are enough vaccines for everyone everywhere.
Regular gifts give us the long-term stability to plan effective campaigns and the flexibility to respond to crises like these.
