                        Concentration camps. Millions of lives destroyed.

                        Apple is collaborating with the government of China, 
putting profit above principles.

                        Will you demand Apple takes a stand?

            Apple is helping the government of China spy on phone calls and 
text messages by taking down apps that people use to stay safe. Anyone the 
government finds suspicious is likely to be sent away for “re-education” and 
often torture.

            Over one million people are in camps right now.

            Apple’s AGM is coming up in a few short weeks -- can you please 
sign this petition so we can show it the global outcry is surging?

            We'll take your name directly to Apple’s HQ, to demand it stops 
helping the government of China spy on people.

            Yes, I'll sign now to demand Apple help keep people safe.

            The government of China is persecuting ethnic groups like Uygher 
Muslims. People in concentration camps are cut off from family. Every detail 
of their lives is controlled. Many are punished and endure brutal torture.

            Just as companies like IBM collaborated with the Nazi Party in 
the 1930s, Apple today is hiding a terrible complicity behind the shiny 
gleam of its iPhones.

            But we won’t let Apple get away with it.

            More than 75,000 SumOfUs members have signed the petition so 
far. Thanks to 13 SumOfUs members who own shares in Apple, we’ll go to its 
AGM soon to speak to execs and shareholders.

            Apple set their lawyers on us to try to stop us and shut down 
our shareholder proposal, but they failed, and now we have a chance to win a 
key AGM vote on human rights.

            But your signature is missing. Can you sign now?

            Sign the petition to stop Apple complying with the government of 
China’s regime.

            If we come together in our millions we can show Apple that it 
must take a stand or its reputation as a trustworthy company will suffer.

            If we succeed it could help make people under the rule of the 
government of China safer by helping them speak and text privately, away 
from government spying.

            When we demanded Google stop working with the government of 
China to develop a censorship app called Project Dragonfly, we won. Let’s do 
the same now with Apple.


             Sign the petition
            Thanks for all that you do,
