CHALLENGES THE POWERFUL

Through our advocacy and campaigning work, we inspire the public to pressure the US government, companies, and others in power to change policies and practices that keep people in poverty.

With our Behind the Brands campaign, we challenged large food and beverage companies to use their influence to improve the lives of their food producers.
