Title
SweatFree Communities | A Network for Local Action Against Sweatshops
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- SweatFree Communities was founded in 2003 by anti-sweatshop organizers in Maine, Minnesota, New York, Wisconsin and elsewhere who had been working separately on local campaigns to convince school districts, cities, states, and other institutional purchasers to adopt “sweatfree” purchasing policies and stop tax dollars from subsidizing sweatshops and abusive child labor. SweatFree Communities created a structure to facilitate the sharing of resources and information and built a national sweatfree movement that has the unity and political strength to generate significant market demand for products that are made in humane conditions by workers who earn living wages. At the time of writing, we have held two national conferences and support and coordinate dozens of local sweatfree purchasing campaigns. We link these campaigns to workers who are organizing to improve their conditions.
