Takin It To The Streets!!!

After printing up copies of our published petiiton it was time for the kids to take action and find people to support our cause.

Before going out, the students wrote scripts of what they wanted to say to people. We did not want the students to read directly from the published petition. We wanted the kids to articulate everything they've learned in the previous months about Fair Trade Chocolate and Non-Fair Trade Companies.

We took our petition to Tompkins Square Park and the surrounding area. We were suprised at the positive response we got. Not only did we inform many people about Fair Trade Chocolate and the labor practices of companies like Hershey and M&M, , we met hundreds of people who believed what we were doing was truly extraordinary.
