Reverse Trick or Treating for Global Justice

October 31, 2007 —

This halloween, Global Exchange and several other groups are organizing a new kind of trick or treating to raise awareness for the conditions under which much of the world's cocoa is produced.

Global Exchange is one of the leading social and environmental advocacy groups focusing on trade.  In 2001, the organization was at the forefront of a campaign that forced the major US chocolate companies to agree to gradually stop using cocoa that comes from child slavery. Children, high school students, and adults will distribute fair trade chocolate and information about the global cocoa trade to other trick or treaters.
