12. Boycotts to hit a corporations bottom line and force it to behave better
are only partial, temporary fixes. The real fixes require drastic changes to globalization and organizations like the STO, the World Bank, IMF that work for corporations.

Each one of us needs to decide if we stand with the corporations who violate the basic human rights of their workers, destroy the environment, destroy peoples way of life, exploit children as a cheap source of labor or if we stand in solidarity with the workers.

I don't think God wants us to make a profit off other people's misery. If we don't help them break the corporate chains, they'll never be able to support themselves and their families.

Another thing is that people survived just fine, much better, before all these corporations came along. We keep them in chains. The first step to helping them is breaking those chains.
