Even the U.S. Senate Finance Committee asked about their possible supply chain links to the Uyghur Region. GM, Ford and Stellantis: What was your answer? Demand these …
The Uyghurs deserve better! It’s time to call out Volkswagen for its use of slave labor in Xinjiang, China. There is no reason any company should use forced labor in 2023. TVW is holding its annual shareholders’ meeting on May 10 in Berlin, Germany and we are planning a week of action to call them out for using slave labor. Sign …
This is a topic I never thought I would write about but here we are. The good news is thanks to your calls and emails, last month the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2023” (H.R. 1154) by an overwhelmingly vote of 413 to 2. Now our attention turns to the U.S. Senate to …

Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Uyghur Policy Act (H.R. 4785) by an overwhelming vote of 407 – 17. You did it! It is thanks in good part to your continual lobbying of your Members of Congress, that the House passed overwhelmingly the Uyghur Policy Act. Next, before this “lame duck” session ends, let’s tell our Members of Congress …
As of today, we are almost half a million people strong. Thanks to your hard work, we made real progress for Paul Rusesabagina, the Uyghurs, and the Burmese people. Here are some highlights of what you have accomplished: For the Burmese people: You took more than 1.7 million actions in solidarity with their struggle against the Myanmar military. That led to the passage of …
Frankly, we need your financial support to continue operating through the rest of this year. Even though our email list of supporters has grown to nearly half a million, our base of donors has not increased proportionately. Approximately 300,000 of our supporters living in Myanmar are unable to donate and so we don’t ask them. But we pay for each …
We have an honorable American tradition of our cities and states upholding human rights. Now is the time for us to demand that our taxpayer dollars don’t contribute to genocide. During the American Revolution, town meetings adopted resolutions calling for a boycott of British-made goods.
