I was a mentor with the Center for Artistic Activism to support their Global Innovation Lab, Free the Vaccine, with Universities Allied for Equal Medicines. We dreamed up creative advocacy experiments with a global online community committed to ensuring that the COVID-19 vaccine was sustainably priced, available to all, and free. We advocated for publicly-funded diagnostic tools and treatment for COVID-19.
