We\u2019re asking the target universities to sign the Open Covid Pledge<\/a>, to stop drug companies profiteering with publicly funded research. In the UK people are used to free healthcare, and unused to thinking about the injustice of health inequalities and the malign role of drug companies. Consequently the universities feel limited pressure. This action was a show of strength from the campaign, to increase pressure on the universities, as well as a public awareness raising effort, through the street presence to a limited extent, but mostly through the social and traditional media interest we generated.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Activists in giant Covid-19 masks joined syringe wielding students in lab coats, beside neon pink dancing protestors, to call on London\u2019s universities to pledge to make their healthcare research on Covid-19 available to the world. The Carnival March for a People\u2019s Vaccine took place on July 27, 2020, from Kings College London (Guy\u2019s Campus) to University College London, asking the universities to sign the Open Covid Pledge<\/a>, to stop drug companies profiteering with publicly funded research.<\/p>\n\r\n \r\n<\/div>\r\nThe Project:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n
