Sign up for our Uyghur Week of Action
Sign up sheet for various days of engagement to advocate for the Uyghur human rights.
Uyghur Freedom Seder | Day 1 | Tuesday, March 30 | 11 a.m. (PDT)
The Jewish and Uyghur peoples are irretrievably linked together through our unique but strikingly similar histories of persecution. We will use the Seder model to amplify the voices of the Uyghur people and highlight the human rights atrocities being perpetrated against them to compel the global Jewish community to take action in coordinated and strategic ways.
Global Advocacy Day | Day 2 | Wednesday, March 31
There is currently pro-Uyghur legislation under deliberation in a number of countries worldwide, many more have yet to bring an action to the floor. Together with over a dozen international organizations, the Jewish and Uyghur communities will meet with and contact our legislators to raise awareness and strongly encourage them to support laws that would sanction and ban supply chains that utilize Uyghur forced labor.
Global Day of Business Engagement | Day 3 | Thursday, April 1
Retailers such as Volkswagen, Apple, Zara, Nike, and more than 90 other multinational corporations source goods from factories said to be using Uyghur forced labor. On Jan. 19, 2021, the U.S. government issued a genocide determination, but there is much more we can do to stop the atrocities against the Uyghurs from continuing. We will be reaching out in the weeks ahead to set up conversations with these retailers to encourage them to take a more in-depth look into their supply chains and strongly encourage them to look at alternative sources.
