If your answer is yes, then instead of buying one
more unnecessary gift for your loved ones, make a donation in their
honor to the Just Garments Solidarity Fund.
Just Garments is a garment
factory in El Salvador whose brave workers have fought an uphill
battle to unionize and create a factory that is not a sweatshop
in an industry that is almost synonymous with sweatshops. Instead,
they have created a place where workers are empowered and people
who have been blacklisted for speaking up for their rights in sweatshops
can find employment.
Just Garments has a sound business
plan for long-term sustainable production under their own label.
But they are facing a challenging moment transitioning from sub-contracting
to independent production. Just Garments may close by the end of
this month if they cannot generate a significant amount of funds.
But you can make the difference.
Please honor your loved ones by making a donation to this Solidarity
Fund and ensure the survival of this brave, innovative alternative—a
source of hope in our world.
