Stop this outrageous Paxlovid increase, end Big Pharma greed!

Petition to President Biden:
Pfizer jacking up the price of Paxlovid is blatant profiteering off of an historically devastating public health crisis. A truly despicable display of corporate greed. We urge you to intervene and ensure that the COVID treatments remain accessible for ALL Americans.

Paxlovid saves lives. And Pfizer is jacking up its price.

Pfizer just announced it’s going to nearly triple the price of the antiviral COVID drug that can help reduce symptoms, prevent hospitalizations, and save lives.¹ Pfizer executives are prioritizing profits over patients. This is Big Pharma greed, plain and simple.

Pfizer’s CEO doesn’t need any more millions — he made $33 million in 2022,² while so many Americans struggle to pay for the prescription drugs they need to survive. We must let President Biden know this is unacceptable.

Sign the petition: Tell President Biden to stop the corporate profiteering off of COVID treatments by guaranteeing access to all Americans.

Paxlovid costs $13 to make. Pfizer is going to sell it for $1,400.³ That’s a 10,000% price markup.

Drug corporations are making massive profits on medicine people need to survive. Pfizer became the first ever Pharma company to bring in $100 billion in revenue. That’s right, $100 billion.⁴ While everyday Americans are struggling to afford medications, Pfizer executives are getting richer and richer.

Big Pharma will always want to maximize profits. Big Pharma executives will always want fat bonuses. That’s why President Biden must step in.

Add your name: Stop this outrageous Paxlovid increase, end Big Pharma greed!

On November 8, 1994, 59 percent of California voters approve Proposition 187, banning undocumented immigrants from using the state’s major public services. Despite its wide margin of victory, the ballot measure never takes effect.

In 1994, California, the home of Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, was not yet the Democratic stronghold many now consider it to be. A popular destination for immigrants from both Latin America and Asia, its demographics changed dramatically in the second half of the century, but neither Republicans nor Democrats won a decisive share of these newcomers’ votes. That would change after a group of Republican activists and state-level legislators, responding to the state’s economic slump and the presence of over a million undocumented immigrants, decided to launch the campaign for what became Prop 187.

In the name of saving taxpayer money, the proposition prohibited the undocumented from accessing basic public services such as non-emergency health care and both primary and secondary education. It also required public servants like medical professionals and teachers to monitor and report on the immigration status of those under their charge.

Although public support was high from the start, the threat of barring over a million California residents from basic public services stirred up vocal opposition. As Republican Governor Pete Wilson’s campaign used the threat of immigration in an attempt to scare voters, 70,000 people marched against 187 in downtown Los Angeles, and 10,000 public school students walked out of class on November 2, just days before the vote. The measure’s passage on November 8 was an entirely symbolic and short-lived victory for conservatives.

Within a week, a legal challenge had prevented the new law from taking effect—it was held up in the appeals process until 1999, when a Democratic governor dropped the state’s appeal. Studies have since shown that Proposition 187 played a key role in galvanizing immigrants’ rights activists and pushing Latinx and Asian voters away from the California Republican Party. Over the next decade, 66 percent of newly-registered California voters were Latinx and another 23 percent were Asian. In the same period, Republicans went from holding roughly half of elected offices in the state to less than a quarter. California has since formally repealed Prop 187 and enacted some of the United States’ most sweeping protections for the undocumented.
