Concentration camps. Millions of lives destroyed.

Apple is collaborating with the government of China, putting profit above principles.

Will you demand Apple takes a stand?

 Sign the petition 

Apple is helping the government of China spy on phone calls and text messages by taking down apps that people use to stay safe. Anyone the government finds suspicious is likely to be sent away for “re-education” and often torture.

Over one million people are in camps right now.

Apple’s AGM is coming up in a few short weeks -- can you please sign this petition so we can show it the global outcry is surging?

We'll take your name directly to Apple’s HQ, to demand it stops helping the government of China spy on people.

Yes, I'll sign now to demand Apple help keep people safe.

The government of China is persecuting ethnic groups like Uygher Muslims. People in concentration camps are cut off from family. Every detail of their lives is controlled. Many are punished and endure brutal torture.

Just as companies like IBM collaborated with the Nazi Party in the 1930s, Apple today is hiding a terrible complicity behind the shiny gleam of its iPhones.

But we won’t let Apple get away with it.

More than 75,000 SumOfUs members have signed the petition so far. Thanks to 13 SumOfUs members who own shares in Apple, we’ll go to its AGM soon to speak to execs and shareholders.

Apple set their lawyers on us to try to stop us and shut down our shareholder proposal, but they failed, and now we have a chance to win a key AGM vote on human rights.

But your signature is missing. Can you sign now?

Sign the petition to stop Apple complying with the government of China’s regime.

If we come together in our millions we can show Apple that it must take a stand or its reputation as a trustworthy company will suffer.

If we succeed it could help make people under the rule of the government of China safer by helping them speak and text privately, away from government spying.

When we demanded Google stop working with the government of China to develop a censorship app called Project Dragonfly, we won. Let’s do the same now with Apple.

 Sign the petition 

Thanks for all that you do,
Sondhya and the team at SumOfUs
