It has been a busy 24 hours in DC and today will be even busier as our group of 100 advocates head to the Hill to advocate for global health. All in all we have over 85 meetings scheduled with our members of Congress.

The United States Capital located in Washington DC has housed Congress since 1800. As the week draws to a close, my mind rests on DC and what I learned about the tragic lack in provision of a simple basic human right: The right to live. Life-saving vaccinations are readily available in the United States and other wealthy countries around the world.
