Help Nicaraguan Sweatshop Workers
My friend Marina gave up her summer to work for United Students Against Sweatshops in Nicaragua. She’s braved giant cockroaches, a lot of heat and humidity, microscopic parasites on street food, and the struggle of identifying with a garment workers’ rights organization.
She has spent most of her time with 50 workers who have been fired and suspended from an American-owned factory for going on strike. They were being underpaid and denied their health benefits at the factory clinic; striking is the only option they have because the government offers next to nothing in the way of public services.
She has authorted a letter you can use to take action.
If justice issues matter to you, please take four minutes and read over her letter and use their form to send it in.
You do need to enter your own e-mail and postal address to send it - and using their form will subscribe you to their mailing list. (It’s really easy to unsubscribe right after, though.)
Alternatively, use her letter as a template and send an e-mail to the owner, Craig Miller, directly at craig@milcolores.com.
It takes only four minutes to read everything over. Why not do it right now?
