This week the indyNewswire focuses on Critical Resistance's CR10 gathering going on now, during the whole weekend of September 26-28. The conference will be a huge gathering of people opposed to the prison system; and we'll hear from Adrienne Fitch-Frankel, fair trade cocoa campaigner for Global Exchange. Most cheap readily available chocolate is produced by child labor if not outright child slavery. Fitch-Frankel discusses the campaign to support fair trade cocoa.
