Past campaigns have included: Justice for Janitors in Boston, Protesting the Iraq war, Protesting the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA), Converting MIT's campus to Fair Trade Coffee, and work on promoting alternatives to Sweatshop labor. Each semester we pick a new focal point so come along and get involved in some positive change.DEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11915439166526822630noreply@blogger.comBlogger241100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171266.post-1097380493421794472004-10-09T22:54:00.000-05:002004-10-09T22:54:53.420-05:00

FairTrade Poster Originally uploaded by Students for Labor Justice. Posters like this went up all over the MIT campus during a sustained MIT FAIR TRADE WEEK in the Spring semester. This high profile poster campaign created a buzz on campus that helped get Fair Trade coffee on the agenda of the catering outlets and an eventual agreement to move to all Fair trade coffee on MIT's campus.

Hi all, This is perhaps the next development of the Students for Labor Justice webspace to allow for faster posting and access to SLJ news and events. I also thought that it was a way to keep ex-SLJers somewhat connected to what is going on. Let me know if you think this is a good idea and if it's a sustainable addition to our MIT webpage. Cheers, Ian.
