Stop the plan to kill cheap medicine
To President Barack Obama, PM Narendra Modi and other leaders:
As citizens from around the world, we are deeply concerned by the pressure being applied to change intellectual property laws that put public health before pharmaceutical company profits. We call on you to bring leadership for public policies which make generic medicines available and affordable to the world's poor, and encourage the development of new affordable treatments.

India produces cheap HIV, malaria and cancer drugs, but Big Pharma wants to stop this, to sell more of their own products at higher prices. Their fierce lobbying has got the US government to push their line hard, even threatening trade sanctions if India doesn’t change its patent laws which put people before profits.
Before Obama flies, let’s build a million strong push to protect India as the pharmacy to the world’s poor, and then develop a 'People's Agreement' for medicines. If enough of us make a stink, it could be a mega story while Obama is there and push him to listen to our life saving proposal. Add your name now.
