John,

A single American family holds the fate of the world’s forests in their hands.

With more billionaires than any other family, the Cargill-MacMillans own Cargill Inc., one of the world's largest food suppliers – sometimes called ‘the worst company in the world’.

Cargill is responsible for vast amounts of deforestation and horrific human rights abuses like child slave labour…but flies under the radar because most consumers have never heard of it.

The family is known to cherish their anonymity. We’re going to change that.

In days, we’ll bring an Indigenous leader impacted by Cargill’s destruction from the Amazon straight to the company’s doorstep in the US – descending on its headquarters to confront the family and demand they clean up their supply chain. But we urgently need to raise the funds to pull it off.

Every second we wait means more destruction in the name of Cargill’s profits. Can you urgently chip in to expose the family behind the world’s worst company?

Over and over again, investigations have revealed Cargill is buying soya, cocoa, corn and more from farms linked to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, slave labor, and stolen Indigenous land.

In 2020, Cargill was exposed for buying soya from a supplier that set 12,000 (!!) fires to a protected biome in Brazil to clear the land. Then in 2022, it happened again – this time at a different farm in a different area of Brazil.

Like clockwork, the company responds by highlighting its commitment to stopping deforestation and pledging to clean up its act. Spoiler alert: nothing happens.

We know advocacy tours like this work to raise the pressure on companies to act. From bringing Indigenous activists to meet with decision-makers and the media to overwhelming companies' AGMs with attention-grabbing stunts, we know how to force corporations to feel the heat.

Bringing the Indigenous communities directly impacted by Cargill’s shady business deals to its HQ to talk to the media is our best chance to show the owners of this corporate giant that the public will no longer stand by while the company ignores its abuses. Can you chip in just the price of a cup of coffee or more to make the trip happen and expose the family behind the world’s worst company?
