Campaign For Labor Rights

Campaign for Labor Rights (
) is the organization probably most responsible for getting me interested and involved in the anti-​sweatshop movement. This was back in the mid-‘90s, and I thought it was absolutely cool to have these emails that told me what companies were doing, whom to write to to stop abuse, and where to show up for protests.
More than a decade later, the website itself is showing its age; but the information is as radical, relevant, and fearless as ever.
I have learned so much from CLR campaigns, especially when I first became interested in the issue and didn’t know much about sweatshops, labor unions, or how almost all the clothes and shoes we wear are produced. (It’s not pretty.) Give them your email address and drink in all the technical, fierce, and industry– and company-​specific information they send you.
