Nike

A bill called the Uyghur Force Labor Prevention Act has passed the house and the senate and is awaiting the presidents signature. The bill prohibits the import of products made by Uyghurs in China. Working conditions at these factories are notoriously bad and often referred to as slave labor. Big companies like Nike and Apples make their products in these factories. Nike is the company that raised Colin Kaepernick to national prominence when they backed his claim that America was racist. They were fighting for the down trodden here while getting their products made by slave labor. Banning these products could be the first step to bringing production back to the US.
