Background & Resources
	How could chocolate possibly be more delicious than it already is?? For now, chocolate is a bitter sweet… 284,000 children toil in abusive labor conditions in West Africa’s cocoa fields Cocoa companies pay prices so low that many cocoa farmers cannot meet their families’ basic needs But we can fix all that...with Fair Trade certified chocolate: Forced and abusive child labor are prohibited Farming families earn a price that is adequate to meet their basic human needs Environmentally sustainable production methods are required
	Take Action
	Online, in your own community, or even just when you’re buying chocolate! If every single one of us takes just a minute or two for an online fax action or more time to take action in our communities, together we WILL end child slavery in the cocoa fields.
