Stop Firestone's Exploitation and Cruelty

The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company has operated a rubber plantation in Liberia since 1926. On July 26, 2007 the Stop Firestone Coalition organized a National Call-in day, demanding that Firestone respect the workers and protect the environment. The company recorded a voicemail for callers defending their record in Liberia. This video contains clips from Firestone's voicemail and our response.
