There’s evidence that the fast fashion giant Shein is powered by forced labour.

Shein already tried – and failed – to list on the New York Stock Exchange last year. We’re working with @UyghurStop to stop it listing on the London Stock Exchange:

In 1850, the California government banned the controlled burning that Indigenous people had been doing for centuries. The practice controlled the forest density, scaled down undergrowth, and promoted fire-resistant species. It reduced the severity, mileage, and overall number of forest fires. 1/5
