Introduced by U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam (D, VA-8) and Nathaniel Moran (R, TX-1), the Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act (H.R.8712) would require publicly traded companies to review and disclose whether any of their products may have been produced with Uyghur forced labor. It is estimated that over 100,000 Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities are forced to work in China on goods such as clothing and technology.

People belonging to ethnic, cultural, and religious groups in northwestern China, including Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Hui, are currently the target of the most extensive organized detention of an ethnoreligious minority the world has seen since World War II. Since 2017, over one million have been detained. Detainees are made to work under constant surveillance, with assigned minders and no freedom to leave. Their forced labor contributes to the production of goods for numerous multinationals. The Chinese government treats the Uyghur minority as being less than human.

Please contact your Congressperson to ask them to cosponsor the Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act (H.R.8712).
