This summer, people all across the country will be enjoying a campfire favorite: S'mores! We all know that chocolate is an integral ingredient in a good S'more and many people will be using Hershey chocolate in their S'mores. You can support cocoa farmers and an end to child labor by making your S'more Fair Trade and telling Hershey to buy Fair Trade Certified cocoa! Keep reading to find out how to participate in this fun summer action.

WHAT?
• ILRF is joining other organizations like Global Exchange, Green America and Oasis USA/Stop the Traffik to make over 1,500 Fair Trade Chocolate S'mores this summer

WHY?
• We're calling on Hershey and the rest of the chocolate industry to END poverty and abusive child labor in the cocoa industry.
