The letter sent last week to Rep. Ted Lieu, a Democrat, represents the spectrum of Jewish belief, joining Orthodox, Reform, Reconstructionist and Conservative rabbis. Sixteen rabbis and a cantor signed the letter to Lieu, whose district covering much of western Los Angeles County has a substantial Jewish population.
Jewish activists have recently taken a higher profile, particularly in Britain, in advocating on behalf of the Uighurs, who for the last four years have faced increased repression in China, including being forced into camps.
The rabbis ask Lieu to co-sponsor existing legislation that would ban entry into the United States of goods manufactured by Uighurs kept in detention camps.
“Your support for this legislation is absolutely crucial to ensure that our fight to prevent further atrocities against this long-persecuted group will be successful,” said the letter, which was initiated by Rabbi Pini Dunner of the Young Israel of North Beverly Hills Synagogue.
It also urges Lieu to work with Jewish World Watch, an Encino, California-based group that campaigns against genocide and recently launched a campaign on behalf of the Uighurs.

A spokesman for Jewish World Watch told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that similar letters had been sent to other members of the California congressional delegation, including Rep. Jimmy Gomez, Rep. Julia Brownley, Rep. Katie Porter, Rep. Brad Sherman, Rep. Karen Bass and Rep. Adam Schiff, all Democrats.
