Fight child slavery in the chocolate industry

Like rainbows, slavery is pretty uncontroversial. Just as most people agree that rainbows are pretty, it's not hard to come to a consensus that slavery is a bad thing. Of course, sometimes the border between slavery and merely exploitative labor is hazy, but it's hard to mount an argument for forced labor.


Anti-Slavery International, which combats modern-day slavery in its multiple forms, is hosting a letter template to send to executives of large cocoa trading companies that use child slaves in Cote d'Ivoire. 


Effort involved: very little. Signing your name to a template is about as easy as it gets. If you're feeling more energetic, the Anti-Slavery International website has suggestions for other campaign actions as well.
