For patients like Sneha who may need medication for the rest of their lives, every year without cheaper generics on the market can mean higher and higher prices they have to pay.

I’m working with advocates like Sneha to close loopholes in the patent system to lower prices.

“This is the time for #philanthropy to stand up and support against these unprecedented attacks on social movements, bail funds, and legal support organizations.” Read @BorealisPhil & DJI’s statement for three funding strategies to support #StopCopCity: https://t.co/M7EBbDEXTa

We stand with the Atlanta Solidarity Fund. #SOSAtlanta #WeAreAllForestDefenders #StopCopCity

[Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim]

The state targeting people running a bail fund is such a terrifying escalation and makes clear that they will use anything in the playbook to criminalize people and crush dissent.

These are the moves of a fascist police state. All eyes on Atlanta. #CopCity will never be built.
