Help us break chains.

Whether we are working to end slave labor or to break the chains of injustice, we need your support.

We estimate that Nestle and Cargill spent over 60 million dollars on legal fees and costs to be able to continue to profit from child slavery.

The large corporations we sue for human rights crimes hire the largest law firms in the country and provide their lawyers with enormous resources to defend their case in Court.

In our cocoa child slavery case we filed in 2005, John Doe I v. Nestle and Cargill, Nestle hired two of the largest firms in the country to represent it, Hogan Lovells, LLP and Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, LLP. Cargill hired Mayer Brown. The senior lawyers at these firms charge over $1,000 per hour and have every incentive to delay the case as long as possible. This case lasted for over 16 years -- that’s a lot of hours.

Here are some ways you can help.
