As COVID-19 has spread around the world, so has solidarity among people everywhere.

This pandemic has shown our incredible capacity for humanity and kindness. Across the globe people have rallied together to support frontline workers, protect strangers, their loved ones and their communities.

Now, as we look for a way out of this crisis that same spirit of unity must be taken up by our world leaders.

Today, civil society organisations around the world are coming together for a Global Day of Solidarity — the perfect time to make sure our humanity continues to shine through the COVID-19 response.

As COVID-19 tests, treatments and vaccines are developed, the world must make sure these vital discoveries reach everyone in need so that all of us can go back to the things we love.

On this Global Day of Solidarity, call on world leaders to protect everyone, everywhere in the fight against deadly disease by pledging essential funds to organisations such as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Take action by signing the pledge and tweeting world leaders now.
