If you stole the recipe for Coca-Cola, the soft drinks giant would hit you with a lawsuit so fast your head would spin.
But for years, Coca-cola has been stealing the traditional knowledge related to stevia - a natural sweetener developed over centuries by the Guaraní people in Paraguay and Brazil - to make Diet Coke.
Other companies, including Nestlé, have entered into negotiations about sharing benefits with the Guaraní, and with your support we can make Coca-Cola do the same.
The Guaraní don’t have armies of lobbyists like Coke. But they do have SumOfUs members like you behind them. To fight Coke for their fair share, they need to pay for a sharp legal team and travel to the US.
The Guaraní people have waited long enough. Will you please chip in today to help the Guaraní people fight back against Coke?
