We have witnessed the devastating impacts global pandemics can have on our communities. New disease outbreaks are accelerating exponentially, due to climate change, deforestation, unsafe agriculture and wildlife trade.
This is a pivotal moment. In order to prevent the next global pandemic, we need Congress to get behind a new global fund to pandemic-proof the planet—a version has already passed out of committee in the House ! We have a unique opportunity to leverage other donor nations and ensure COVID-19 never happens again—but only if Congress gets behind a global fund to prevent pandemics at the source and contain the spread of diseases.
This fund will ensure Indigenous communities as well as impoverished countries have the resources needed to put together and implement national pandemic prevention plans—plans that benefit everyone and keep the world safe and healthy.
We must urge our members of Congress to include funding and call for a new global fund for pandemic prevention and preparedness.
Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos.
