Join T1International in this year’s “Health is Wealth!” Digital Demonstration to celebrate our community of patients and allies. Despite hearing powerful, heart-breaking, and enraging stories from patients and people impacted by diabetes year after year, Eli Lilly has not met our demand to lower the list price of insulin. We want to show Big Pharma and each other that our community will not stand down in the fight for lower insulin prices. We are powerful, resilient, and joyful, even in the face of corporate greed. 

From September 24 through October 24, 2022, let’s show the world the joy we find in our collective fight for #insulin4all, culminating in a direct action at Eli Lilly’s International Headquarters in Indianapolis on October 24.

The pharmaceutical industry claims that the health of people is their top priority while they continue to bring in billions in profit, showing their true priority. Big Pharma has continued to raise the price of insulin at the expense of countless people’s health. For too many, health is unattainable because of broken systems driven by greed.
