    My name is Elexa and I am a student organizer with United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS), a student organization that advocates for workers rights locally and internationally. USAS is holding a Teach-In event called The BLOOD that makes your PSU Gear to spread awareness about the sweatshop conditions some of our university apparel is produced in. We would like to invite you and your students to attend!

    Jansport - a division of VF Outdoor, a company that Penn State has a contract with, subjects its workers to deadly working conditions and refuses to take the rightful actions to protect them. We as students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters of Penn State should not stand for our administration allowing business with unethical brands. Come out on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30pm in 140 Fenske Building to learn more about the truth behind our Penn state clothing and how we can get Jansport/VF off of our campus.

    For more information about the campaign, visit www.northfacedeathtraps.com.

    Best,
