The 2014 People’s Climate March in New York City brought out over 400,000 people – an incredible showing of the grassroots momentum behind the climate movement. Shortly after the march, mothers Debra Mahony, Susan Rubin, and Harriet Shugarman wrote a letter to another mother, Indra Nooyi, CEO of Pepsico, to urge her to halt the use of conflict palm oil in her company’s products. As part of the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) Snack Food 20 Campaign, the mothers delivered a powerful message about the harmful impacts of deforestation on people around the world and urged Pepsico to stop its destructive practice.
