Adidas Sweatshop Workers Speak Out! Worker Tour visits NYC

Hear from garment workers who sew apparel in Honduran and Haitian factories owned and contracted by Gildan Activewear, a Montreal-based apparel company that recently became the largest supplier in the Western hemisphere to sportswear giant Adidas.

Workers will be speaking out across New York to encourage the State to uphold its commitment to not subsidize sweatshops, and in the backdrop of another mounting campaign against Adidas. Six universities have already committed to end their apparel contracts with Adidas over the brand's refusal to pay $1.8 million in legally-owed severance pay to 2,800 former Indonesian workers at a factory called PT Kizone, which shut down unexpectedly over a year and half ago.

Come, listen, and take action!

Eight years ago, on June 1, 2004, the United Nations began a military occupation of Haiti which continues still with some 10,000 troops. The UN forces took over from the U.S., French, and Canadian troops which helped carry out the Feb. 29, 2004 coup d'état against former President Jean Bertrand Aristide and which then militarily occupied Haiti for three months before passing the mission off to the UN.

The Anti Militarism Committee has been actively organizing protests and lobbying against the terrible increased drone attacks against the civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. We have worked to call for a fair trial for Bradley Manning. We have been working to support the troops and bring them home alive now from Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti. We oppose military threats against the economic protests in the Middle East or military threats against the developing nations in Latin America. We oppose wars for the benefit of the oil companies.
