This tour will be a great opportunity to learn more about United Students Against Sweatshops. People already involved and other people interested in learning about USAS's goals are all invited. It is an open event. The talks and focus of the tour include:

  • how we can develop valuable organizing skills to take back to our respective campuses
  • how we can use our power as students to affect an industry that thrives in secrecy, exploitation, and the power relations of a flawed system
  • brainstorming/ strategizing around campus campaigns
  • learning about how workers are organizing to make change on the ground

and, most importantly,

  • meeting other activists and organizers!
