Make IT Fair Rap Song (IT/Electronics Industry)
A great rap song about the dark sides of the electronic industry made by Alec J Weatherwood, aka El D. Thousands of people work under terrible conditions for minimal wages in the electronic industry. Reports from the UN and human rights organizations even say that metals used in electronics finance the war in eastern Congo. You can change this! Contact the producer of your mobile/mp3/laptop/camera and demand that they will control their supply chain. We've already managed to get fairtrade coffee and bananas, now it's time for mobile phones and laptops. Check out www.makeitfair.org for more info.
