We would love for you to join with the Pastors of Moriah Baptist Church, Baptist World Alliance, BMS World Mission, Baptist Union of Wales, Baptists Together and the Baptist Union of Scotland in supporting this campaign and signing the petition.

Join a movement of UK Christians whose signatures will go to 10 Downing Street, calling for the Government to take on the four justice steps below. We’ll also provide you with prayer points and other opportunities to make a practical difference.

• Governments in member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) must enhance aid budgets to fight the pandemic, respond to its humanitarian impacts and support recovery.

• There must be strong international co-operation among the global community and global condemnation of “vaccine nationalism”. Specifically, we call on the UK Government to support worldwide collective efforts to put an end to the pandemic and produce vaccines for all on a fair and equitable basis.

• Governments must enable manufacturers to commit supplies to poorer nations and supply vaccines at cost, at least until the pandemic is over, and together we urge employees, investors and other stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry to lobby for this commitment.

• There must be collective support for research in preventing future pandemics and for research into limiting the knock-on adverse effects of the virus on an array of services in low and middle-income countries.
