<P><STRONG>Kids are buried alive </STRONG>--<STRONG> suffocating in
collapsed tunnels </STRONG>-- to <STRONG>mine precious metal for
mobiles and laptops.</STRONG></P>
<P>Now <STRONG>devastated families</STRONG> from the

Microsoft, Dell and Tesla to court in the US</STRONG>.</P>
<P>It won’t bring their children back, or allow those with injuries
to walk again.</P>
<P><STRONG>But Vladimir, if you help fight this court case, it will
help these grieving families</STRONG> -- and it will force huge tech
companies to stop buying metal from death-trap mines.</P>
<P>That’ll put those mines out of business -- and <STRONG>stop any
more kids dying for phone batteries</STRONG>.</P>

<P><STRONG>Just a kid, Raphael died alone, crushed by
rocks</STRONG>. It’s hard to think of his <STRONG>tears and terror,
buried in the dark</STRONG>.</P>
<P>When Raphael’s family could no longer afford to send him to
school, he did what most kids in his village do. <STRONG>Age 12, he
went to work at the nearby cobalt mine for about $1 a
day</STRONG>.</P>
<P>In April 2018, he was crouched in a tiny tunnel digging for
cobalt, when <STRONG>the roof collapsed</STRONG>. Sixty-two people
died that day.</P>
<P>But <STRONG>if we help their families win this legal case, it
will force Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla to cut their
ties</STRONG> <STRONG>with deadly mines</STRONG> -- helping send
them out of business, so no more kids die in the dark.</P>

<P>Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla have hired some of the
largest law firms in the country to fight the claims of the mining
victims.</P>
<P>The fourteen families from Democratic Republic of Congo are being
helped by a Congolese professor, a human rights lawyer -- and
you!</P>
<P>They’ve filed the legal case. But there’s an <STRONG>urgent need
for donations to pay for</STRONG>:</P>
<UL>
<LI>an <STRONG>investigator to chase down the secret supply
chains</STRONG>.
<LI><STRONG>experts to prove the companies didn’t have to
sacrifice the health and lives of children</STRONG>, but could
have established safe cobalt mines instead.
<LI>campaigning to keep up the pressure on tech corporations to
stop buying metal from those mines. </LI></UL>
<P>It won’t come cheap. But if enough of us chip in, we can help
make sure the case is watertight and end deadly mines.</P>
<P>We’ve helped communities around the world win legal battles
against huge corporations before. <STRONG>Let’s win this for the
family of Raphael and for kids in danger right
now.</STRONG></P>
