FYI, in case anybody is interested. I can send you the flyer individually if you want it; it's too big to send out to the whole list. Avi
Bring your friends and spread the word!
Come join students from throughout CT as we organize to pass the most progressive anti-sweatshop law ever!!!
No Sweat CT Student Summit
Saturday, February 26
12:30 - 5pm
Marcus White Living Room,
Central CT State University
Dear CT student organizers and friends,
In the past month, unions, students, and socially conscious people throughout CT have united in a flurry of excitement to mobilize to pass the most progressive anti-sweatshop legislation in the nation yet. The CT legislature is currently considering a bill to ensure that all uniforms (and possibly other items) purchased by the state would be produced in factories and washed in laundries where workers earn a living wage and their rights are respected.
This law would build upon years of organizing by students and the global movement in support of workers and against sweatshops. Students have a crucial role to play in passing this legislation. Please come join students throughout the state at this important gathering of students from throughout CT. This will not be a typical lecture-centered workshop, but rather an opportunity for students to interact and discuss the ways in which students can play a key role in fighting for the most progressive anti-sweatshop law in the nation.
There will be refreshments. A flyer is attached to help you spread the word.
Please invite any and all CT students you know who might be interested.
Bring your friends!!! (And bring your calendar :).
It is now our time to join the global movement against sweatshops!!!
In solidarity, Kath Golub.
