Tell Hershey’s no more child labor!

This Saturday, June 12, is World Day Against Child Labor.

In recognition of this day, we’re asking you to join us in a call-in action to Hershey’s Chocolate, asking them to take action to ensure that no forced child labor is used in making their chocolate products – we’re asking them to go Fair Trade.

As the producer of dozens of products enjoyed by children and adults in this country (Hershey’s kisses, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and popular candy bars like Almond Joy and Mounds), Hershey’s has a responsibility to ensure that children in other countries don’t suffer in the creation of their products. And yet so far, Hershey’s has refused to agree to any third-party certification programs for their cocoa supply.

With the US State Department estimating that there are more than 100,000 child laborers working in hazardous conditions on West African cocoa farms, there’s no excuse for Hershey not to seek the fairest, cleanest, best supply chain possible.
