SweatFree Communities Charity Profile
SweatFree Communities assists sweatshop workers globally in their struggles to improve working conditions and form strong, independent unions. SweatFree Communities was founded in 2003 by anti-sweatshop organizers in Maine, Minnesota, New York, Wisconsin and elsewhere who had been working separately on local campaigns to convince school districts, cities, states, and other institutional purchasers to adopt sweatfree purchasing policies and stop tax dollars from subsidizing sweatshops and abusive child labor. SweatFree Communities created a structure to facilitate the sharing of resources and information and is building a national sweatfree movement with the unity and political strength to generate significant market demand for products that are made in humane conditions by workers who earn living wages. We have held four national conferences and support and coordinate dozens of local sweatfree purchasing campaigns. We link these campaigns to workers who are organizing to improve their conditions.

SweatFree Communities Donation Information
Whatever you give to SweatFree Communities generates benefits many times the value of your gift. By giving you invest in an organization with hardworking staff and volunteers who help local campaigns persuade schools, cities, states, and religious organizations to purchase sweatfree goods and services. These purchases guarantee good jobs for workers this year, next year and into the future. In addition, youth become civically active, communities come together across political lines, and you help create a better world.
