Whether we like it or not, we are locked into a global economy with very few rules to defend human rights.
Companies roam the world in search of lower wages, no regulations and no taxes.
Corporations often try to pit U.S. workers against the poor in the developing world, competing over who will accept the lowest wages and benefits. Americans deserve and need the chance to raise our voices and affirm the dignity of life and human rights over corporate indifference and greed. This is a critical moment for millions of decent people to raise our voices to help lead this debate. We do not want to be pitted against our sisters and brothers in the developing world. The National Day of Conscience Oct. 4 is an opportunity for us to express our common voice against these abuses of human rights.
