Hollywood stars are finally coming forward to help in ending the Coronavirus pandemic around the world. An open letter signed by over 70 celebrities, including Eva Longoria, Anne Hathaway, and Peter Dinklage, and many more urged the global leaders to lead in fighting the pandemic.

The signed letter is organized under Iman as the global advocate by nonprofit CARE.

The letter urges world leaders to understand the importance of the goal set by the World Health Organization in providing enough vaccination for 70 percent of the world population by 2022. It also pushes for infrastructure and resources for countries that are not self-sufficient and need support and investment.

The letter also coincides with the ongoing United Nations General Assembly and the Global Covid-19 summit being hosted by the United States President Joe Biden.

The letter states, “None of us are safe until all of us are safe. We call on leaders gathering at the United Nations General Assembly Session to boldly act together to end COVID-19 everywhere. ”

“COVID-19 is now a man-made pandemic of apathy. Only 2% of people in low-income countries have received a single dose, leaving the world’s most vulnerable to face COVID with no protection. This situation also lets new variants, like delta, emerge and ravage the lives of millions.”

It calls “on global leaders to make 7 billion vaccine doses available before the end of 2021, and an additional 7 billion doses by mid-2022 to fully vaccinate 70% of the world by next summer.”

“To get this done, the world community must also invest in last-mile delivery systems, public education, and frontline health care workers to get vaccines from tarmacs into arms. Millions of doses could go to waste because low-income countries don’t have the support they need to get vaccines to vulnerable people,” the letter reads.

“We can save millions of lives — and trillions in further economic damage — by meeting this moment with the resources and political will needed to end COVID-19 for everyone, everywhere. Because none of us are safe until all of us are safe. ”
