<P>We've been so successful using shareholder action to get
companies to change their bad behaviour...that they're
<STRONG>trying to shut the whole program down!</STRONG></P>
<P>Just last year, a <STRONG>SumOfUs shareholder resolution forced
Apple to publish its first-ever human rights policy</STRONG>. So now
they made a new rule -- anyone who wants to bring this kind of
resolution will need to hold <EM>thousands of shares</EM>...and they
set a deadline to buy them that's just a few days away.</P>
<P><STRONG>They're trying to silence everyone but the richest
shareholders</STRONG>. But Vladimir, we can beat them at their own
game.</P>
<P>If 5000 people reading this email chip in the cost of a coffee,
SumOfUs can <STRONG>buy enough shares in Apple to have our say at
the AGM</STRONG>, ratcheting up the pressure on execs over the
company's use of Uyghur forced labour in the supply chain, and
more.</P>
<P><STRONG>For the next 24 hours, everything you give will be
matched 2:1 by a generous donor, tripling your impact -- can you
join in to buy a slice of Apple? </STRONG></P>

<P>Shareholder advocacy used to be straightforward -- a SumOfUs
member with stocks would just sign a letter, get a letter from their
broker, and our community could file a co-resolution to be debated
at Annual General Meetings.</P>
<P>And <STRONG>we had incredible success, not only with Apple's
human rights policy</STRONG>. A strong shareholder proposal pushed
TD Bank, one of the world's biggest funders of fossil fuels, to
commit to net-zero by 2050. Pepsi committed to sustainably-sourced
palm oil. And more!</P>
<P>But now <STRONG>the US stock authority is rigging the rules to
favour big-dollar shareholders</STRONG>, adding time-consuming and
arduous rules: increasing the minimum number of shares, increasing
how long you have to hold the shares, and requiring that co-filers
like SumOfUs provide a list of times they can meet with the
corporation to discuss their resolution.</P>
<P>It's a lot to ask. <STRONG>But the good news is it means our
strategy is working.</STRONG> And there's a simple solution: bring
our community together to buy stocks in some of the biggest
corporations to keep achieving real-world change. <STRONG>And we're
starting with Apple.</STRONG> Can you help hold these corporate
giants to account? (Remember, your donation is TRIPLED by a generous
donor)</P>
