ACTION: Lockdown at Cargill's Global Headquarters

In the wake of a damning report linking Cargill to the destruction of Indonesia's rainforests, activists with Rainforest Action Network occupied the executive offices of the nations largest private agribusiness company Cargill. Playing a loud recording of chainsaws cutting down rainforests and holding signs reading This is the sound of your supply chain, and Mr. Page: Rainforest Destruction Stops with You, five activists locked themselves to the staircase of the Lake Office, blocking the entrance to the companys executive offices for over two hours. All five activists were arrested, then released on bail three hours later. Cargill continues to deny their role in the destruction of Indonesia's rainforests.
