*[Enwl-eng] Genocide sponsored by ZARA

[ENWL]

                        We told you about ZARA's use of Uyghur forced labour. And you stepped up.

                        Now we have a new opportunity to pressure ZARA. A new CEO just took over who might be receptive to our plea. 

                        Send a tweet to ZARA and its new CEO, Marta Ortega, to urge her to do the right thing.

            ZARA has a new boss - Marta Ortega. She’s the daughter of ZARA’s founder, and she’ll be desperate to protect the family firm.

            Ortega knows that there is growing public outrage over the horrific abuses being suffered by Uyghurs at the hands of the government of China – and that by using Uyghur forced labour, ZARA is risking its reputation.

            We have to remind her that her family’s name is associated with a company that is complicit in genocide. If she wants to protect ZARA’s reputation, she needs to act fast.

            Let's take over Twitter to call on ZARA and its new CEO, Marta Ortega, to stop using Uyghur forced labor.

            Over 180,000 signatures and a sustained campaign against ZARA might have already paid off. ZARA, concerned about its image, may have pushed out the previous CEO, Pablo Isla, to give the impression that it wants a fresh start.

            Now we need to make that a reality!

            So today, let’s keep up the pressure. Let’s flood ZARA's Twitter account and make Marta Ortega trend on Twitter so that the brand stops using Uyghur forced labour.

            We know public pressure works - HUGO BOSS cut ties with a supplier using Uyghur forced labor because thousands of SumOfUs members flooded BOSS’ twitter feed. Now let’s force ZARA to do the same!
