<P>It’s terrifying work.</P>
<P>In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, <STRONG>children as
young as 10</STRONG> climb into holes barely wider than their
bodies. They spend hours there, digging out tiny chunks of cobalt to
be used in cell phone batteries. All for $2 a day.</P>
<P><STRONG>Dozens have died or suffered catastrophic injuries but
Apple, Google, and other tech giants just say it’s not their
problem.</STRONG></P>
<P>The families of these children say otherwise and are suing Big
Tech for damages. But these billion-dollar companies have the most
expensive lawyers working around the clock to get the case
dismissed.</P>
<P>We’ve already started to help them fight this case -- <STRONG>can
you chip in to help make sure not one more child dies for an
iPhone?</STRONG></P>

<P><STRONG>Instead, Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft, and Tesla have
hired some of the largest law firms in the US to fight the claims
and show they have no responsibility.</STRONG> They admit the
conditions are deplorable, they just say it isn’t their fault!</P>
<P>It’s simply not true. If they refused to buy batteries built on
child labour, their suppliers would have to clean up their act. This
is blindingly obvious -- they know it, you know it. Instead,
<STRONG>they choose to turn their back on the abuse and exploitation
of desperate, dying children.</STRONG></P>
<P>We can help the families get justice and <STRONG>ensure no more
kids die for the batteries in our cell phones.</STRONG> Let’s go
all-in on this landmark lawsuit:</P>

<P>While Big Tech’s lawyers dance around the issue, the 14 parents
and children who brought the suit are being helped by a human rights
lawyer, a Congolese professor...and us! Let’s show them what we’re
made of, and make sure they can’t just walk away from this problem
without a fight.</P><!-- ak.wysiwyg=code --><IMG alt=""
