How To: Guarantee Your Favorite Brands are Slavery-Free
According to the United Nations, an estimated 20 million people were held in bonded slavery as of 1999. Bonded slavery is the continual labor of an individual forced to work by mental or physical threat. They are forced to work long hours, often seven days a week, for meager wages, if any, attempting to pay back a debt that increases at exorbitant interest rates. In reality, there is no way to repay the debt and the laborer becomes essentially a slave for life. Many bonded slaves are children who are beaten and abused if they do not fulfill the extreme expectations of the owner.
Demand that your favorite brands guarantee that their products and/or services are slavery free!
- Go to Chain Store Reacion.
- Shop by label. Choose from the products online by clicking on each individual label.
- Proceed to checkout. Read the "Producer Pledge."
- Email the pledge to each product's Consumer Responsibility Agent. Ask them to investigate slavery in their product chains, and end any links.
- Return frequently. See if the Producer responded to your demand. If not, email them again.
- Share this with your friends. So that you can increase your impact.

I am taking part in this cause because 27 million people in slavery is unacceptable.
Yeah last time I checked Slavery in most contries was, lemme chack again, ILLEGAL
THis IS so awesome I've been interested in this topic for so long I'm so glad this article was made. Thank you DO SOMETHING!
My school is having a fare trade stand at a fair, we are going to sell stuff that was made w/o slavery.
...one person in slavery is unacceptable.
FMS101 Yes In most. But It's not always inforced. And just because something is Illegal does not mean it does not happen. You see it all the time on the news.
Just emailed 60 people. this site should be promoted more. it's so easy to fill out your basic info and if we all just email one company every day, the companies will eventually have to respond if hundreds of people have emailed them!

This is ridiculous . . . I clicked the link and my favorite stores still had NO RESPONSE: The North Face, Claire's, Forever 21, Aeropostale, and Abercrombie and Fitch. Of course, that doesn't mean that they have slavery, but STILL.
