Bobby Lee Rush is an American politician, activist and pastor who was the U.S. representative for Illinois's 1st congressional district for three decades, ending in 2023. A civil rights activist during the 1960s, Rush co-founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party.
Activities
Between August 12–19, 2019, Rush took part in the Aspen Institute's week-long conference in Rwanda (East Africa)[1] which was underwritten by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.[2] While attending the event, Rush meets with Gates Foundation representatives to discuss which companies a future government contact tracing program will award contracts to. This is before any mention of a "Covid.[3] pandemic".
Nine months after these meetings, on May 1, 2020, Rush introduced in Congress HR 6666, a $100 billion COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.[4] Thirteen days later, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi slides $75 billion for "Covid-19 testing, tracing and isolation efforts" into the $3 trillion Covid relief package.
