  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.

  • An Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council on 2018 State Abortion Bans April 3, 2018
    An Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council on 2018 State Abortion Bans April 3, 2018 So far in 2018, at least 39 bills to ban abortion at different points in pregnancy, or even altogether, have been introduced in at least 19 states1. These bills – several of which are advancing – are intended to be a direct challenge to a woman’s right to decide when or if to end a pregnancy as established in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. As state legislators, we’re calling on our fellow legislators, governors, and the courts to stop these abortion bans, protect women’s health, and respect their personal decision-making. As state legislators and members of the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council, we envision a nation in which each of us can make our own decisions about our reproductive health, pregnancy, and parenting, free from political interference. We view this as intrinsically woven into the broader fabric of gender and racial equity and economic justice. Today, our country falls far short of that vision. In 2018, too many of our colleagues continue to use the privilege of public service to pass new laws limiting their own constituents’ reproductive health and rights. Outrageously, more than 400 abortion restrictions have been enacted at the state level since 2011, often making it harder for a person to get the healthcare procedure she has decided she needs, or even pushing it out of reach altogether. Today, opponents of women’s health are emboldened by extremists in power in Washington and the potential for a new U.S.

  • June 1, 2018 Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council Regarding President Trump's Decision to Limit Title
    June 1, 2018 Open Letter from the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council Regarding President Trump’s Decision to Limit Title X Family Planning Funding As members of the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council (RFLC), a cohort of 274 state legislators representing 43 states, we oppose the latest effort from the Trump administration to roll back reproductive rights and harm women’s health. President Trump’s proposed rule to block access to health care under Title X, our nation’s birth control and reproductive health program, and deny women information about their full reproductive health care options is unacceptable, and we stand united in opposition to this decision. President Trump’s gag rule would block health care providers from receiving federal Title X funding if they provide abortion care or offer referrals to other providers of abortion services. We’ve borne witness to the harmful impacts of the over 400 restrictions on abortion that have passed in states since 2011, and know that creating additional barriers for patients seeking access to birth control and other services from their trusted reproductive health care providers does us all a grave disservice. We see this gag rule for what it is: a clear attempt to take away our rights, make both abortion care and birth control harder to access, and drive yet another wedge between health care providers and their patients – all to pay back a political promise President Trump made to the anti-abortion lobby. We believe it is our duty as elected officials to make it easier, not harder, for people to get the health care they need, including birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and general women’s health exams.

Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader Schumer: As elected officials from many states and cities, we commend you on your leadership in providing relief to millions of workers impacted by the COVID-19 public health emergency. While in our home jurisdictions, we are doing everything we can to help vulnerable workers, the scope of the emergency exceeds our ability to provide comprehensive relief. So, we are pleased that discussions have begun on the next phase of legislation and are writing to ask that you protect property service workers who are keeping the nation moving in this time of crisis. Property service workers have been declared to be essential in numerous state and city “stay-at- home” and “shelter-in-place” orders, and for good reason. The duties of property service workers (building cleaners, security officers, residential service workers, contracted airport service workers, cafeteria workers, and parking workers and others) are critically important so that the public can stay healthy and our buildings and facilities can stay safe for the duration of the crisis. Essential property service workers cannot weather periods of time without work, but at the same time, neither can we continue to allow them to face the risks associated with continuing to do their work during a pandemic without proper protection and compensation.
