The Problem

Workers make 1/3 of a living wage in 15 of the top 21 U.S. garment importing countries.

The Solution

One way to help foreign workers is to make conscious buying decisions and to encourage retailers to provide conscious options.

Organize an underwear-themed protest to collect signatures advocating for your college to source apparel from factories that ensure fair working conditions and living wages. Consider ways to participate that respect everyone's comfort levels, such as wearing the underwear over clothes or as part of a creative costume.
