Socially responsible consumers support TLWNSI by joining our e-mail community as well as by donating to our cause. Nonetheless, the most crucial contribution you can make is to support our specific campaigns for gradual wage equalization. At this time, we ask you that you keep abreast of our progress in establishing our Alliance. Once we begin approaching specific corporations we will develop ad hoc campaigns to support or reject, through our members' consumption, those corporations that work with us, and those that refuse to stop exploiting their workers. Additionally, from time to time we may ask you to support specific consumer campaigns developed by some of our members. At the present time, these are the campaigns that we want to ask you to support:
Urge Wal-Mart to support Living Wages Despite Wal-Mart's efforts to project a wholesome image, the fact is that a surprising amount of the clothing sold in its stores is made in sweatshops all over the world. Indeed, Wal-Mart's attempt to cover up the fact that it was importing clothes made in third-world sweatshops in the midst of a "Buy America" campaign shows the group could play as dirty as anyone when its image is under threat.* Send a message asking Wal-Mart to pay workers a living wage, ensure healthy and safe working conditions, and foster worker self-determination. Read all about it and join Co-op America's labour justice at Wal-Marts effort.
ACT NOW to support 25 million coffee farmers in crisis! Falling prices have forced coffee growers to take their kids out of school, watch their families suffer without medicines and cut back on basic food. Oxfam is campaigning to tackle a catastrophe. Action must be taken now, to help the millions of coffee farmers and their families who are facing ruin. Take action now!
