About Patients for Affordable Drugs
Patients for Affordable Drugs (P4AD) was founded in 2016 by David Mitchell. Following his diagnosis with an incurable blood cancer in 2010. He was shocked to discover that the medicines he needed to stay alive were priced at over $300,000 a year before insurance. Today, the price for those same drugs is more than $1 million per year. Recognizing that patient advocacy groups free from pharmaceutical industry influence were absent from the debates shaping drug pricing policy, David launched P4AD to challenge the industry’s control over the system and give patients a seat at the table. After leading the organization for nearly a decade, David retired in 2025.
Through digital and grassroots mobilization and advocacy, P4AD has grown into a powerful force for change in the fight to lower drug prices in the United States.
Temi on being an Unstoppable Voters Leader
“I’m excited about this program because it creates space to strengthen the strategic and creative side of my organizing practice. Throughout my career I’ve led advocacy, electoral, and engagement programs, but I’m increasingly interested in how narrative, culture, and creativity shape civic participation and movement-building. I’m excited by the opportunity to learn alongside organizers who are experimenting with new approaches, challenge my own assumptions about engagement, and develop ideas that move beyond traditional advocacy tactics. I’m particularly interested in exploring how trusted community spaces, storytelling, and cultural interventions can help organizations engage people in more meaningful and lasting ways. The opportunity to learn from a cohort of practitioners while testing and refining real-world ideas is what excites me most about the program.”
