As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to spread, it is crucial to raise the role of U.S. sanctions in depriving millions of people around the world of access to medicine and medical supplies. According to reports by the Center for Economic and Policy Research and Korea Peace Now, sanctions are responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people in Venezuela over two years, and 4,000 people in North Korea in 2018, primarily due to lack of access to medicine. In Zimbabwe, Western sanctions handicapped the countries response to Cholera outbreaks and last year’s devastation from Cyclone Idai. The impact of U.S. sanctions on access to healthcare threatens to thwart attempts to contain COVID-19. U.S. sanctions have severely hampered Iran’s efforts to respond to the Coronavirus and accelerated it’s spread by limiting access to medical supplies, test kits and information about the virus.

Now more than ever we must organize and educate to raise consciousness of the criminal sanctions imposed by the U.S. and it’s junior partners, responsible for innumberable deaths and suffering every year in 39 countries-1/3 or the world population. Join us March 13-15 to denounce U.S. imposed sanctions and to continue building a movement to defeat them.
