California bill #AB381 is a commonsense measure that would help to ensure that California taxpayer dollars do not fund egregious abuses like trafficking and forced labor.

California's procurement laws are outdated and toothless against forced labor. AB 381 would fix that—bringing state law in line with federal standards. U.S. Ambassadors + Fresno leaders are urging action. Support the bill. #EndForcedLabor #AB381 Read: www.fresnobee.com/opinion/read...

The Trump Administration plans to end all ILAB grants, WaPo reports. Apparently, combating human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor is not in "alignment with agency priorities and national interest." This will have a devastating global impact on the most vulnerable people. bit.ly/4iKRnpn

Trump Has a China Trade War Weapon He Hasn’t Picked Up

President Trump has access to a powerful tool that isn’t tariffs for his trade war with China, but it isn’t clear whether China hawks will convince him to unleash it.

The Trump Administration has already halted or moved to dismiss enforcement investigations and cases against 89 corporations—giving the green light to corporate lawbreakers. Rampant corporate impunity is already a major problem, we don't need to make it worse. bit.ly/4i3GUoH

The EC's Omnibus Proposal betrays the people the CSDDD was meant to protect to the interests of big corporations. By limiting due diligence and gutting access to justice, this proposal would allow corporate abuse to continue to run rampant. We need more corporate accountability, not less.
