Congress is moving forward on an important piece of legislation, the Conflict Minerals Trade Act of 2009 (H.R. 4128), which would improve transparency and reduce the trade in conflict minerals coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo, thereby reducing human rights abuses and supporting peace and security in the DRC.

This groundbreaking bill is currently being considered by key policy makers in the House of Representatives and we need your help to ensure that as many Congressmen and Congresswomen support it as possible.

Write to your Congressman or Congresswoman today to ask them to co-sponsor the Conflict Minerals Trade Act of 2009.
