| Use Your Voice to End Child Labor in Cocoa |
| An estimated 1.5 million child laborers are working in cocoa fields around the world - carrying heavy loads, working with dangerous tools, and being exposed to hazardous agrichemicals. Child labor in cocoa has been a well-known problem for over two decades, but the cocoa industry has done little to address it. Use your power as a consumer to reform the cocoa industry - take action now! |

| Tell Wall Street to Stand Against Racial Injustice |
| In the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020, Wall Street banks issued bold commitments to ending racial injustice in America. But now those banks are using the Chamber of Commerce to sue the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, attempting to block current laws used to stop discrimination on the basis of race, religion, and other categories. Don’t let Wall Street banks hide behind the Chamber. |
