LazuliB

This report goes into detail about the problem of slavery in Xianjiang and in China in general.

They identified 82 companies/brands that have Uyghur slave labor in their supply chain (either making the products directly or sourcing raw materials such as cotton).

As much as possible, please try to find alternatives to these companies. Whenever you can, buy locally made goods and keep your money in your community.

By the way, if anyone knows a good smartphone that’s not from a company on this list, please let me know.

Here’s the list:

Hoy les vengo a hablar sobre la situación de mi país Nicaragua 🇳🇮

Hoy mi tierra está siendo manchada con la sangre que la defiende y los culpables son los mismos hermanos ciudadanos (Juventud Sandinista, Sandinistas) que son enviados por el presidente y vicepresidenta Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo. El problema comenzó cuando empezaron las protestas hacia el INSS por el aumento de impuestos y por el baje de la pensión hacia los adultos mayores. Mandaron a la Juventud Sandinista y a los policías a agredirlos comenzando así enfrentamientos entre los protestantes y los orteguistas. En este momento están dándose enfrentamientos en la cuidad de Managua (capital de Nicaragua) donde han habido sien número de heridos y muertos. Los canales televisivos y noticieros que estaban transmitiendo dichos enfrentamientos y agresión fueron censurados.

Las universidades (UNI, UNAN, UCA, UPOLI, UNA) están en protesta e inclusive estudiantes que protestaban dentro de las universidades fueron agredidos por la policía. (la universidad UNI fue tomada y los protestantes tuvieron que evacuar).

Solo pido que el mensaje se comparta, las personas de otros países infórmense para que todos puedan ver lo que se está haciendo.

Since both people and pain all die one day”
