Speak up for women cocoa farmers
Chocolate is a $100 billion industry – but most cocoa farmers live on less than $2 a day. And the women working on cocoa farms have it the hardest. The women who grow and pick the cocoa that big chocolate companies put in their products deserve better: better pay, fair treatment, opportunities for training, the chance to own the land they work, and more.
Tell Mars, Mondelez, and Nestle: Women cocoa farmers deserve better.

Don't cut foreign aid. It's working.
American poverty-fighting assistance saves lives and helps millions of people lift themselves out of poverty, all for less than 1% of the federal budget. Cutting aid won't close the budget gap – but it will close the door on a better future for the world's most vulnerable communities.
Tell Congress: Oppose any cuts to lifesaving foreign aid.
Big Oil companies: What are you hiding?
More than 1.5 billion people live in countries rich with natural resources like oil and natural gas, but are forced to survive on less than $2 a day. For these people, living near oil and mining companies means environmental damage, loss of land and human rights abuses. Breaking the resource curse starts with transparency: arming communities with information about the payments made in their backyards, empowering them to fight corruption and to hold their governments accountable – but big oil companies don't want to come clean.
Act now! Tell Big Oil companies: Stop fighting transparency rules.
