The Uyghur American Association and the allies, Student for a Free Tibet and DC4 HongKong organized the “End Uyghur Forced Labor” rally in front of the US Capitol in Washington DC. NBA star Enes Kanter joined the rally as the key speaker and urged the US Congress to pass the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.
UAA would like to thank Senator Rubio & Representative Suozzi’s remarks and Coalition to End Uyghur Forced Labor spokesperson, Jewher Ilham’s powerful speech.
