Let's Write It Up...

We have encovered a bit of sad information: there are currently NO federal laws against sweatshops. Sounds crazy, right? But there IS a state level bill going around that 7 states have signed on to. You can read the proposal and even print out a prototype letter to send to your governor, or state representative if your particularly sassy, at http://www.sweatfreecommunity.org. Check it out!

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to your one-stop destination for sweat-free shopping. In basic terms, sweat-free shopping is purchasing items from companies that comply with moral labor standards. This blog will (happily!) guide you in your quest to shop responsibly.

Workers in sweatshops are characteristically overworked, underpaid, and unable to unionize. By purchasing items produced in sweatshops, you are enabling companies to continue their immoral practices. Remember...your dollar has a voice!

This is a brand new blog and is constantly under construction. We are eager to hear any feedback or suggestions you might have towards the improvement of this site.

Happy Shopping!
Tasha and Lindsey.
