                        Are you a Covid survivor? Your story could push big 
pharma to drop patents on covid vaccines and treatments so millions more can 
be protected.

                        Can you share your story in a short video?

            Huge news! It looks like pharma giant Astra-Zeneca has found a 
covid vaccine!

            But while Astra-Zeneca's competitor Moderna has announced it’ll 
allow any company to make cheaper copies of its vaccine -- Astra-Zeneca is 
holding on tight to its vaccine secrets.

            This is not the time for Big Pharma to put profits first. And 
public pressure could sway Big Pharma bosses -- especially the voices of 
covid survivors.

            Your story could make all the difference. Tell us the impact 
covid has had on you and why covid vaccines and treatments should be 
available to everyone that needs it, not just the 1%.

            If you have survived covid, can you share your story? We’ve 
created a simple tool to help you upload a short video message.

            We are collecting video testimonies from covid survivors all 
over the world which we’ll broadcast on social media and put in front of 
decision-makers. Your stories will stoke public anger at the pharma industry’s 
refusal to share their vaccine secrets.

            During the 1990s, AIDS patients who advocated for access to the 
latest treatments transformed public opinion, and pharma companies caved.

            With your help we can do it again -- and save millions of lives.

            Will you share your story about why you support open access to a 
covid vaccine?

            We understand that if you’ve survived covid you’ve been through 
a lot. If you aren’t able to speak on video, you can still pressure Big 
Pharma to act by signing this open letter to pharma bosses.

            It’s all too easy for corporate bosses to sit in their offices 
removed from the impact their decisions have on ordinary people. We know 
that confronting them with real people’s stories -- from First Nations 
leaders confronting oil companies polluting their lands, to human rights 
activists taking on Apple -- makes them really take notice.
