Open News Special with Gayle Smith

This is a digital-only ThinkIn. On Wednesday evenings, Tortoise journalists have a weekly news meeting to chew over the live news agenda. It’s a meeting that’s open to our members – a chance for you to have your say and propose angles that we, and others, are missing. If you have an idea for a story that hasn’t got the attention it deserves, this is the time to pitch it. This week we’re joined by Gayle Smith, CEO of the ONE Campaign and (RED), former Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development from April-December 2021, Coordinator for the Global Covid-19 Response and Health Security in the U.S. State Department. Join us for a conversation about vaccine diplomacy, ending preventable disease by 2030, and holding governments accountable for equitable vaccine distribution.

The Arms Race: what next?

This is now a digital-only ThinkIn.Tortoise’s The Arms Race campaign has been calling for equal global access to vaccines. Last week finally saw Biden convene global leaders in an emergency summit. There were new pledges, but were they enough? Britain has millions of spare doses, and has delivered a mere fraction of existing pledges, so why was Boris Johnson a no-show? Our campaign’s coalition partners will regroup to consider the historical summit and – most crucially – what we must do now to prevent further avoidable deaths.
