Organic Consumer’s Association

When social consciousness isn’t enough, turn here. OCA is a nonprofit, grassroots organization that pushes for government action. On the group’s homepage is a list of all of their current campaigns, ranging from the protection of organic standards and policies to the promotion of fair trade clothing. There’s a worthy cause for everyone. Need some more information before you commit to a campaign? News articles from a wide variety of sources explain the movements and policies related to social justice. While the environment is covered extensively, the site also pushes for peace and fights for better health. As a nationwide network of over 800,000 activists, it’s a bandwagon worth joining — even for citizens that don’t consider themselves ardent advocates.
