"Nowadays everybody's talking about fighting sweatshops. Every month
brings new stories about demonstrations, teach-ins, or press conferences
exposing how bad working conditions are in places like China, Vietnam,
El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, etc. - everywhere but right here in
the United States! Instead of organizing to fight sweatshop companies
in this country, these folks thing it is better to fight other people's
employers in other countries, long distance. Listen sisters and brothers,
if you can't even stand up against bosses and economic injustice in
your own backyard, how can you tell people in other countries to fight
for change? Plenty of us don't have it that well right here in the
United States. So how are you going to talk to us about, 'Free China'?
What about 'Free Brooklyn?' "Free the Lower East Side?' Free Yourself?!"
