Hey guys, Im in the middle of reading this book, The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne, and I came across a few different websites that fight for fair trade. Basically: justice in the global economy. I would encourage everyone to just spend an hour or so reading and familiarizing yourself with some of this stuff and just what goes on a lot of the time behind the scenes with clothes, sweatshops etc and we can do just as regular folks to help.

www.sweatshopwatch.org
www.corpwatch.org
www.hrw.org (Human Right Watch)
www.Iccr.org (Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility)
In the past I havent had much concern with any of this stuff, and Ive pretty much chosen to ignore it all. I'm hoping that this will improve, and maybe you guys will be challenged to take a step or two, even in just writing an email to a certain cause, or perhaps choosing to not support a certain company involved in exploiting workers. Anyways, check it out. We can make a difference.
