The day before the election results were declared in the US, Merith Basey on behalf of UAEM and Free the Vaccine, was invited to join allied groups Spaces in Action, Casa in action and others in DC to support the call to “Count the Votes”. The speakers were almost all recent immigrants asked to share why voting matters and the impact it would have on their lives and their communities. Merith of course linked the election to the COVID-19 response, access to the vaccine and the lives that depend on it around the world.
