International Right to Know

U.S. Corporations should be required to disclose essential information on their labor practices and conditions, toxic releases and environmental impacts, and human rights practices wherever they operate. Join the thousands calling for an International Right to Know.

Shock & Law

Originally an offshoot of our work to defend the Alien Tort Claims Act, the Shock and Law campaign seeks to raise awareness about the Bush Administration's assault on international law, domestic law, and international treaties.

Alliance for a Corporate-Free UN

The Alliance for a Corporate-Free UN is a global network of human rights, environmental and development groups working to address undue corporate influence in the United Nations, and to support UN initiatives to hold corporations accountable on issues of human rights, labor rights and the environment. EarthRights International serves as the Alliance Secretariat.

Boycotting Teak and Other Burmese Goods

What do teak, shrimp, luggage, gems and birdseed have in common? They are all made in Burma, where one of the most repressive and brutal regimes in the world routinely uses forced labor and violence to control villagers and ethnic minorities. Consumers buy into this repression when they buy goods made in Burma. Join the campaign to stop imports of Burmese teak.

Energy Project

EarthRights International's Energy Project involves work in two countries -- Thailand and Burma. We help local communities to understand and advocate regarding energy use and related development projects in their areas. More specifically, the Energy Project strengthens the capacity of local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and activists, to address the negative impacts of large energy development schemes.

USA LEAD

Campaign of Local Economic and Advocacy for Democracy (LEAD). The USA LEAD campaign is intended to promote the use of local economic advocacy tools to further the protection of human rights and the environment around the world.
