Recently a campaign was kicked off by our friend Deborah Schwartz to have a Sweatfree Portland. That will mean all the uniforms for police officers, parks and recreation workers, firemen and women, all city uniforms, will be purchased from businesses who offer Fair and Just working conditions. Pretty Awesome, it is a huge amount of money that could be diverted from supporting sweatshops. This same ordinance has been passed in San Francisco and Los Angeles! check out sweatfree.org/portland.
Humming Bean lead an effort for a store front window display at a radical feminist bookstore called In Other Words to inform el publico about the ordinance.
