The products on our supermarket shelves often contain terrible things: "tasteless ingredients" that industry and commerce would prefer to keep secret. The fact is: the path of many products is paved with injustice and destruction. For example, juice is sold for which oranges are picked in Brazil under slavery-like conditions. The chocolate cream in our shopping basket contains palm oil for which forests are cut down in Guatemala.
In many European countries, the Romeror Christian Initiative is organizing street actions and events during a joint week of action with international partners to raise awareness of human rights abuses and environmental destruction in global supply chains. In addition, the starting signal is given for a major project in the coming months: to fight for a strong, European supply chain law.

So also in Münster in a few days action week starts, which CIR has planned together with 15 other civil society organizations. There are several opportunities to get involved from and in Münster:
- Protestmail: Already the protest mail action for an EU supply chain law is online. The focus is on the food sector and the problems that a supply chain law must address: The rights of workers - especially women and migrants - in harvesting and processing, as well as land use conflicts, in which not only human rights are violated, but also the environment suffers massive damage.
- Guerilla sticker action: sheets and postcards with stickers can now be ordered from us. Mark with it supermarket products, which contain "tasteless ingredients" (exploitation, environmental damage). You are also welcome to order action flyers with which you can draw attention to the protest mail, display them or distribute them in your networks.
- Information stand: On Saturday, October 9, we will be at the market in the city center (Ludgeristraße 7) from 11:00-15:00 with an information stand, drawing attention to "tasteless ingredients" in our food and distributing stickers to passers-by to win them over to the protest mail.
- Film evening: On October 13, CIR will show the film "Anders Essen - das Experiment" by Kurt Langbein at 6:00 p.m. as part of the VAMOS film series "Klappe auf für Menschenrechte". The film will be followed by a (digital) discussion with Brazilian activists Valéria Pereira Santos and Júnior Gamela on the topic "Right to Land". Ticktes can already be pre-ordered online.
