Voices for Justice: Hold Big Tech Accountable for the Genocide in Congo
Our world is connected by technology, but behind our everyday devices—our phones, laptops, and more—there’s a story of injustice and exploitation. The minerals that power these devices, like cobalt, are sourced from conflict zones in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where over 5 million lives have been lost due to violence fueled by corporate greed.
Tech giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Tesla profit from these conflict minerals, yet they’ve largely escaped accountability, despite recent lawsuits. Their profits come at the expense of human lives, and the U.S. government has failed to hold them accountable. This lack of action allows the suffering of the Congolese people to continue.
This is why it’s crucial to send emails to our leaders—because they have the power to change this. By demanding stricter corporate accountability laws, enforcing reparative justice, and supporting peacebuilding efforts led by the people of the DRC, we can shift the narrative from exploitation to empowerment.
Sending these emails may feel small, but collective action has the power to create change. Each email is a step toward justice for Congo, pressuring our government to prioritize human rights over corporate profits. Your voice can help end this cycle of violence. Send your email today and be part of the solution. Together, we can hold Big Tech accountable and bring about lasting peace.
