Twenty years ago, major chocolate companies promised to address child labor in chocolate.  

Today, these companies want you to focus on how good their treats taste and ignore the horrible labor conditions that go into making them—because these companies have NOT followed through on their promises.

Child labor and deforestation have only gotten WORSE.

Green America isn’t letting these major companies off the hook.
We’re at the forefront of holding the chocolate industry’s feet to the fire.

That's why we need your support! Please join Green America today.

And with your donation of $35 to our work to end child labor, not only will your gift be TRIPLED with our matching gift challenge, we will send you two organic, fair trade chocolate bars to say thank you!

With the support of our members, we’ve put pressure on Hershey and Godiva, to find the children laboring in cocoa fields, and help these children get a better life.  

We’ve reached millions of consumers with our rankings of chocolate companies and retailers regarding their treatment of children, farmers, and forests in West Africa, and steered consumers to better options.
 
Green America has kept the issue of child labor in cocoa a front page story across the country, putting pressure on the largest companies to clean up their act.  

And, we’ve worked with our international partners to promote research highlighting farmer poverty, child labor, and deforestation, as well as the solutions.

Together, we are getting chocolate companies to finally take action on their promises from decades ago.

Companies are making commitments and allocating millions of dollars to address farmer poverty and child labor. But, they will only follow through on their promises if we keep public pressure on them.
 
We are at a turning point with the industry.  

We need to keep the pressure on but we can only do so with the support of passionate people like you.

With your support today, we can continue to research the impacts of companies on labor and the environment and publicize what we find.

With your help, we can get stories in the press and reach millions on social media, which is what gets executives at large chocolate companies to the negotiating table to talk about solutions.

Please support our work to end child labor in cocoa. And we will send you a chocolate-covered thank you with your donation of $35 or more.
