Human chain
Visibility action for a “republicization” of the pharmaceutical industry
In different regions of the world, on the same day, citizens get up and in a roped party to climb against the merchandization of access to health for all!
Live connection of two roped parties with the global videoconference of the MoveUp 2021 initiative chaired by Riccardo Petrella, who will proclaim the Citizens’ Memorandum.
