Stand For Congo UK
π¨π© BOYCOTT iPHONE 17 β NO CONGO, NO TECH π¨π©

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is home to the worldβs largest supply of cobalt and coltan, minerals that power our phones, laptops, and electric carsβ‘
The worldβs biggest tech companies β Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Dell, and Tesla β are complicit in ongoing human rights violations, resource exploitation, and genocide in the DRC βΌοΈ
Congoβs mineral wealth fuels modern-day slavery and child labour. Congolese people are forced to work in hazardous mines under inhumane conditions, earning as little as $1 a day, without basic safety protections.
These companies profit while turning a blind eye to unethical mining, smuggling, tax evasion, and corruption, all of which fuel the instability and suffering in the DRC.
Apple is also complicit in Israelβs occupation and illegal settlements in Palestine and the forced labour of Uyghurs in China.
Join us as we stand in solidarity with all those resisting exploitation βπΎ
