By no means is our mission complete. While we have brought fair trade chocolate into our community we also wanted to address the fact that depsite promises of change from the chocolate industry there is still reports of child labor taking place in the Ivory Coast.
We have planned a protest in front of the Time Square M&M store for Wednesday June 11, the day before World Day Against Child Labor.
In addition to the fact that many of the large companies still deal with farmers who use child labor we also want to bring to light Fair Trade. None of the billion dollar chocolate corporations
have addressed the issue of fair trade and the opportunity to pay cocoa farmers an equitable wage which would help them break the cycle of poverty.
