  • Learn Which Candidates We Supported in Your Community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE in the POLITICAL PROCESS a Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC
    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.

We’re so glad you all joined us here today for our UUCA Justice Power Hour. In this hour we will build community and work together for change. Think of this weekly program as a “sampler platter.” You will get a brief introduction to an issue during this hour and then provided with a wealth of follow up information to go deeper after the conclusion of our time together. We also give ourselves permission to be raggedy in this hour. Perfection is a tool of white supremacy and we want to break those habits. Towards the end of the hour we request that you fill out a tracking form so that we can celebrate all the work we accomplished together. We will begin this hour in small breakout rooms (Virtual Tables) to build connection and community. Over the hour we will learn about an issue and then we will have 15 minutes to take virtual action around that issue. We will close out the hour in community and celebration. There are additional resources and actions at the bottom of this agenda. ● If you have any questions (tech or otherwise), you can message your Zoom pilot or anyone with an * in front of their name and they will be able to help you ● If you have any accessibility needs or questions, feel free to speak up now or message anyone with an asterix in front of their name privately.
