Corporate Accountability International's new campaigns challenge irresponsible corporate actions in industries like water, tobacco, oil, and food and agribusiness. We are taking on some of the most powerful corporate giants in the world, and we know we can win with your help.

For more than 25 years, Corporate Accountability International and our members have led the way to protect people and save lives by waging and winning campaigns targeting abusive corporations like Nestlé, General Electric and Philip Morris/Altria.

Our campaigns are successful because they are strategic, action-oriented and involve thousands of people like you who care about holding corporations accountable for hurting and killing people.

Corporations that engage in irresponsible and dangerous abuses received no summer vacation from the campaigning of Corporate Accountability International.

For example, Coca-Cola is dramatically depleting groundwater in India with little regard for the impact, and at least five Indian communities near Coca-Cola's bottling factories are facing severe water shortages and widespread health problems. In Plachimada, a village in southern India, strong community opposition to one of Coke's bottling plants led it to be temporarily shut down.

Coke seems determined to re-open this facility, despite the clear demand that it be closed permanently. As the threat of re-opening this bottling facility heats up, the community is responding. Just last week, local residents, mostly concerned youth, marched in front of the Coke plant and demanded that it remain closed. One important way we can support our allies in affected communities in India is to generate pressure on Coke from US consumers.
