Take Action to Stop Child Labor in the Cocoa Industry This Halloween!For the third year, ILRF will be joining other organizations across the country in supporting Reverse Trick-or-Treating!
For years, major chocolate companies have used cocoa harvested by trafficked, forced and child labor in West Africa. Just last week the US Department of Labor included cocoa from five countries in West Africa on a list of goods produced by child and forced labor. This Halloween, don’t leave your neighbors in the dark about the problems in the cocoa industry! Through Reverse Trick-or-Treating, kids give Fair Trade chocolate back to adults while trick-or-treating on Halloween! The chocolate is attached to a card with information about social and environmental justice issues in the cocoa industry and how buying Fair Trade certified chocolate provides a solution. If we are going to reach a quarter million households on Halloween again this year with our important message promoting social justice, we need your help! Order your Reverse Trick-or-Treating Kit TODAY! Deadlines: October 1 for groups and
October 13 for individual families Make sure to indicate that you found out about this from the International Labor Rights Forum! Reverse Trick-or-Treating Kits are FREE thanks to the generous donations of Fair Trade chocolate companies (participants pay the cost of shipping only). PS: If you choose not to order a kit, you can still participate by handing out these Halloween flyers! |
