US politician who in 2020 introduced the $100 billion COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act after conferring with the Gates Foundation.

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.
