Stronger action, not just language. Large brands have kept us in the dark about how our day to day products are made. Do we know if brands are exploiting children or if factory workers are protected? To combat alarmingly weak transparency, large brands earning over $100 million annually must be required to publicly disclose whether and how they follow internationally-recognized ethical labor standards.

Community health starts with the youth. We need to further develop opportunities to make civic engagement personal and relevant for young adults. Develop direct links between students and community leaders with accessible and reliable databases for civic engagement opportunities.
