The main focus of the campaign is Miami's own licensing agreements with corporations who use sweatshop labor to make sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. with Miami's name/logo. To kick off the campaign, there will be a <bold>"Fashion Show" this Wednesday, October 20th, behind Shriver at 6:00 p.m.</bold>, featuring the clothes we wear every day without considering the conditions under which they are made. Please announce this event to your students, and I encourage you to attend as well! Also, please attend, and encourage your students to attend, the weekly meetings on <bold>Thursdays, 6:00 p.m., in 218 Culler</bold>. Our main goal is to educate the Miami community, and we could use as many teachers as possible! This campaign connects us and our students to international women's rights and labor issues in a very tangible way. If you would like someone, or a small group of people, to come to your class to discuss sweatshop labor and Miami's efforts to stop it, please contact Pegeen at [log in to unmask] or Carol Tyson at [log in to unmask] (Please forward to other interested faculty and students.)
