Sweatshops are everywhere overseas. If you are against sweatshops and want to do something about it, don't buy stuff from the companies that have sweatshops!!

I'm starting to boycott the companies that i hear of who have sweatshops, who wants to join?? Not just boycott though, some of these companies are too big. We've got to spread the word. You may have never knew these companies had sweatshops, I didn't. Which means a lot of other people are clueless too! Boycott, join sites and stuff against this, tell your family and friends to boycott, post the list and some facts on your myspace, blog, anywhere. This needs to get out!! and please tell me of any other companies you find and we'll add them to the list.

Nike
Gap
Abercrombie&Fitch
No Sweat
Justice Clothing Co.
No Sweat Apparel
Unionwear
Ann Taylor
JC Crew

Why do you have sweatshop-free corps on that list as well?

It's pretty hard to boycott all places that make their clothing in sweatshops...as a person in my global education class who researched the topic for a semester noted. I think the best thing you can do is increase awareness about it and be contientious (sp?) about what you buy and where it is made...
