16. Specific lobbying issues

On behalf of 150 organizations and individuals, including the client, who signed a multi-faith letter, made contacts to urge members of Congress to co-sponsor the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, (H.R. 6210 or S. 3471), to ensure that American product supply chains are not funding the Chinese governments oppression of the Uyghurs and other Muslim groups in Xinjiang. Forced labor programs are a chilling component of the CCPs brutal campaign of repression of Xinjiangs Muslims religious freedoms. Chinas government is estimated to imprison over 1 million Muslims in reeducation camps where they face separation from their families, indoctrination, and torture. Unfortunately, the nightmare for many of these Muslims does not end at the walls of the camps. Chinese government officials coerce many former camp prisoners and local Muslim residents to work in government approved factories and other workplaces as part of their larger campaign to destroy their cultural identity and bring them under the complete control of the state. Congress should ensure that American dollars are not funding this oppression through the importation of products made by forced labor from the Xinjiang Region. The New York Times reported that the products made off the backs of these oppressed people are going into several global supply chains of products such as textiles and personal protective equipment that are going to consumers in the United States.

On behalf of 91 organizations and individuals, including the client, who signed a multi-faith letter, made contacts to urge U.S. government leaders to urge for the recognition of the achievements of U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback by awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ambassador Brownback richly deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom, having spent his life in the service of others. Specific to religious liberty, Brownback had an extensive track record in Congress. During his sixteen years in the House and Senate, he was a leading advocate for international religious freedom. He was a key sponsor of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRFA). With his help, the Senate passed the act unanimously. IRFA passed the House with similarly overwhelming bipartisan support and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. IRFA established a legal mandate for the promotion of religious freedom as a key element of U.S. foreign policy. It also created Brownbacks current position in the State Departments Office of International Religious Freedom and established the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. As Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, Brownback has been remarkable. He has dramatically advanced the cause of religious freedom worldwide. In fact, he is working in partnership with civil society to stir actions, build a global movement around religious freedom, and get the various faiths to bind together and stand for each others freedom of religion or belief. We wholeheartedly believe that Ambassador Brownback is immensely deserving of this honorable and prestigious award. His thirty-four years of public service and willingness to always defend and fight for the least among us proves his worthiness of this award.

On behalf of 55 organizations and individuals, including the client, who signed a multi-faith letter, made contacts to urge U.S. government leaders to urge the Hungarian government to respect religious freedom for everyone, consistent with the 2017 Budapest Resolution, which included clear statements that condemn any action aimed at denying or curtailing the free exercising of basic human rights, with particular emphasis on violations of religious freedom; calls upon the worlds governments and international organizations to seek long-term solutions in order to end the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities, and to ensure the exercising of all human rights, including that of the free exercising of religion in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and urges common action on behalf of the worlds governments and international organizations to end atrocities against Christians and other religious minorities, and to implement immediate and concrete measures in accordance with that goal.
