Labor trafficking is unfortunately a very common issue within many companies, whether it is used by them knowingly or unknowingly.
14.2 million people are trapped in forced labor.
136 goods from 74 different countries are made by forced or child labor.
Over 70% of labor trafficking victims entered the US on lawful visas, but were then forced to stay against their will.
31% of undocumented Spanish-speaking migrant workers had experienced labor trafficking.
By signing this petition, you will be standing with the victims of labor trafficking and pledging to inform yourself on which companies are trafficking-free so that you can support these companies when buying goods and avoid companies known to use labor trafficking or forced labor.

I have been digging through these reports all night and honestly it is just overwhelming to see how many household goods are linked to this but your comments keep me going. People are sending me lists of brands they stopped buying which makes me think we might actually start a real shift in how we shop if we keep looking at this stuff closely.

I was just checking the page and I honestly cannot believe how many people are landing here because this is so much bigger than I thought it would be when I first started writing this out. It makes my head spin a little thinking about the scale of the problem but seeing all of you show up makes me think we might actually do something here if we keep this momentum going even though I know it is a massive mountain to climb.

Corporate greed has gone way to far. People deserve to be treated like human beings not objects to be used and discarded.
this is sickening how is this still happening in 2019? we need to do better and stop giving our money to companies that dont care about human rights.
Good work
