A,
In just a few weeks, shareholders will vote on a resolution (filed by SumOfUs members!) calling on Apple to come clean about forced labor in its supply chain. Now Apple execs are panicking that investors will back it. Let’s make their worst fears come true.
We spoofed an Apple ad about this crisis, and if we can get thousands of shareholders to see it, we can persuade them to vote in favor of the resolution.

Our shareholder activism is working. In 2020, 13 SumOfUs members co-filed a resolution calling on Apple to implement a human rights policy, and got an unprecedented 40% vote in favor. The overwhelming response from shareholders forced the company to reconsider its position and resulted in it creating a human rights policy after all, even though we didn’t win the majority vote.
We can do it again. Investors don’t want Apple’s squeaky-clean brand tainted with allegations of forced... labor because they know it will put off customers and slash profits.
Let’s make sure Apple shareholders know what’s at stake - they have the power to force Apple to act.
Watch the video and share with everyone.
Governments around the world have already branded the atrocities being inflicted on the Uyghur population as genocide. We can’t let Apple dodge responsibility for its part in this appalling human rights disaster. Let’s watch and share this video now and help make sure that doesn’t happen.
Thanks for all that you do,
Vicky and the SumOfUs team
