The Issue

 


We can do better! Big tech companies like Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft are using child labor, as well as slave labor in CONGO to mine COABLT to produce their products. 

 

U.N estimates there are 40,000 children currently working in cobalt mines in Congo. Children and women are dying a painful death while big tech companies enjoy billions of profit. Beside people working in the mines, by simply inhaling cobalt dust you are at risk of lung cancer.

Don’t just sign the petition join us on the AFROCITZEN APP. We have to hold big tech accountable, we demand that:

  1. U.N ban exportation of raw cobalt from Congo 
  2. Compensation to the children and family exploited by BIG TECH 
  3. Local ownership of cobalt production

Make your voice count.
