Hi everyone,

Despite the fact that it's finals week, I will be holding my workshop on sweatshop labor and its effect on women today! If you're free, PLEASE come through and bring some friends! Info is below! (And please forward this to any relevant listservs! I know it's last minute)

Ever noticed the different countries on the tags on your clothes? Who are the people responsible for making all of the clothes on your body? How much do you think an average sweatshop worker makes for t-shirts that cost $25 or jeans that cost $75? The (human) price is much lower than you think.

Join Krupa Patel from Prof. Anna Guevarra’s Asian American/Asian Women in the Global Economy Class and Alternative Spring Break for a fun and interactive workshop* on sweatshop labor called:

CAPITALISM, CLOTHES AND CONSUMERISM: The Story of Sweatshops

A brief description: This interaction workshop will go over the many issues facing women sweatshop workers across the world as they participate in an unfair system of production that privileges us over them. Methods of getting involved with activist movements on and off campus will also be presented to students.

WHEN: TODAY (Tuesday, Dec 7) from 4pm-5pm
WHERE: basement of the Honors College (Room B16)
