Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to reject any effort to cut child labor law enforcement funding, and tell our government to go after deceptive subscriptions. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
The Coalition on Human Needs helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject any effort to cut funding for enforcement of child labor laws. Can you believe we actually have to tell our Congressfolk this? Particularly since child labor law violations (as you might suspect from media coverage) nearly doubled from 2019 to 2023? Anyone who votes to cut child labor law enforcement should lose their next race! And, as any citizen of a developing nation will tell you, it’s one thing to have strong laws – for example, many of these nations have strong clean air and clean water laws – but it’s another thing entirely to enforce them. So let’s not be morally and spiritually corrupt.
The Juggernaut Project helps you tell our Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department to protect good Americans from deceptive subscriptions. The news hook here, of course, is Adobe taking a lot of justified PR flak for making folks jump through 20 flaming hoops to cancel their subscription. You’d have to think a lot of other corporations are doing the same thing, because it’s easier to skim money from good Americans than it is to create good products. If our government takes on these subscriptions, they might be able to deter the far worse ones that are no doubt coming. BMW made their seat-warmers subscription-only not that long ago; how long until some corporation tries that for brakes?
