Much more and more, our collective activism is reshaping the planet economy to punish criminal corporations and demand transparency on subjects like GMOs, drug patents, animal cruelty and far more. And we are winning on each and every front!

Here are the highlights:
Tyson Foods to halt obtain of cows raised with Zilmax
 Tyson Foods, the country’s biggest purchaser of beef, announced it would stop acquiring beef from cows raised on Zilmax, the “animal cruelty” drug that makes cows so heavy they cannot stroll on their personal, forcing slaughterhouse workers to drag the cows to their own deaths.
Zilmax has been extremely criticized by animal welfare activists, and massive boycotts were already becoming planned that could have cost Tyson tens of millions of dollars in profits. Tyson smartly pre-empted the planned boycotts by abandoning Zilmax.
