Urgent Action Needed Today: Dodd-Frank Conflict Minerals Under Attack

Urgent Action Needed TODAY: The conflict minerals provision, Dodd-Frank section 1502, is under attack – with a House vote scheduled in just a few hours on an amendment that seeks to dismantle all the significant progress that has been achieved to reduce the flow of money to armed groups and increase corporate transparency in Congo. If this amendment moves forward, it will be one dangerous step closer to becoming law.

Twitter: Enough is running a twitter campaign to urge Representatives to vote NO on this amendment, and we need your help!! Use the link below to find your Representative’s twitter handle and drop it into this draft tweet (or one of your own!)

Facebook: Urgent action needed to support #conflictfree minerals! A vote is scheduled in just a few hours on an amendment that seeks to dismantle the significant progress that has been achieved by Dodd-Frank Provision 1502. Tweet at Congress to vote NO on anti-1502 amendment #95!

The Enough Project strongly supports Provision 1502, which has had a significant positive impact in eastern Congo and on improving the transparency of corporate supply chains. http://eno.ug/28NtT3X
