<P><STRONG>Brainwashed, tortured and forced to work</STRONG> in
state-run factories. This is the reality for hundreds of thousands
of Uyghurs in China -- and fashion brands like <STRONG>Zara are
buying up the cotton they produce.</STRONG></P>
<P>H&M has been brave enough to say “no more” to the Chinese
government, but Zara just keeps going along with it. <STRONG>And its
millions of customers have no idea.</STRONG></P>
<P>Zara execs are terrified its customers will find out their
favorite clothing store is <STRONG>taking advantage of the brutal
repression of Uyghurs to spin a little extra profit.</STRONG> Let’s
make their worst fear come true.</P>

Zara to stop profiting from Uyghur forced labor.</A></P>
<P>Last month, when the government of China slammed H&M for
refusing to buy cotton from the Xinjiang region, <STRONG>Zara’s
spineless execs bowed to pressure and deleted a statement opposing
Uyghur forced labor</STRONG> from its website.</P>
<P><STRONG>There’s no reason Zara can’t take a stand, just like
H&M.</STRONG> If they did and others joined, the government will
have no choice but to back off the bullying and reconsider the
horrifying treatment of Uyghurs.</P>
<P>All that’s missing is the pressure on them to act. Without it,
it’s clear execs will take the easy way out. But <STRONG>our global
community has forced major clothing brands to change course
before</STRONG>. When tens of thousands of SumOfUs members
successfully pressured fashion brands to ensure the safety of
Bangladeshi workers -- H&M, Zara and Benetton all got on board.
Now let’s do it again.</P>
