On November 30, skip the gym and come break a sweat to stand up against sweatshops. Join us for fitness fun and learn more about the campaign to make UT sweatshop-free, a student movement asking for accountability, transparency, and the defense of worker rights in the apparel industry. UT, as the number one producer of collegiate apparel, has a choice to make, and we are asking the administration to do the right thing and act on our university’s core values by affiliating with the Worker Rights Consortium.
Join us at 12:45PM for a post workout march to the tower as we drop a letter off for President Powers.
Don’t forget to wear workout clothes. Extra points for neon!
