Encourage Nestle to stop using child labor
Join the International Labor Rights Fund, Global Exchange, and the Organic Consumers Assocation in telling Nestle, Cargill, and ADM to stop using child labor!
On Monday, February 6th, just a week before Valentine’s Day, the first court hearing is scheduled for a lawsuit filed by the International Labor Rights Fund (ILRF) against Nestle, Cargill, and Archer Daniels-Midland for forced child labor in their West African cocoa farms. The cocoa provided by these companies supplies virtually every major chocolate producer in the United States, including Hershey’s and M&M/Mars.
Global Exchange and the Organic Consumers Association will hold an action outside the courthouse to demand the companies stop using cocoa harvested by forced child labor.
Monday, February 6th
12:30 PM
US District Court #6
