I only occasionally pester my congressional representatives. One of the things I have done recently is pester them about the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (S.3471 and H.R.6210).

If you're a voter in the United States, it may align with your values to pester your congressional representatives about this legislation. The Uyghur Human Rights Project likes this legislation, and so do politicians such as Elizabeth Warren and a bunch of Republicans and AOC, which I hope is a sign that the legislation isn't too bad. And also, like, it's mostly trade sanctions, which seem reasonable.

I am not going to go into detail about the atrocities this legislation is a response to, because most of my social circle has already heard about them, and paying attention to atrocities you don't have the power to prevent is unpleasant. If you haven't read about them, I recommend you think about the amount of evidence you really need to acquire before you go and do research, so you don't accidentally do more research than you have to.
