United Students Against Sweatshops Conference: Miami, Fl!

The United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) winter conference happens every year, and us usually much larger than the summer conference. The conference will revolve around anti-oppression issues and campaigns, especially those focused on worker's rights.

We are planning on having a few different groups of workers at the conference. There will be some excellent skill building workshops, campaign strategy time, anti-oppression workshops and, most importantly, you all will get a chance to meet around 300 other student activists from throughout the US and Canada. Food and housing are taken care of, and we are hoping to have a lot of money for travel scholarships.  In order to get a travel scholarship you have to register reasonably early (scholarship application deadline Jan. 1, forms will be sent to those who register and indicate the need for them) so folks should get that taken care of at www.studentsagainstsweatshops.org.

 The weather in Miami should be lovely, especially for us Canadians :).  Prices right now to fly to Miami for the conference are quite low; about $230-$280 from Toronto, depending on the time frame chosen. Canada is a fast growing section of USAS so people are encouraged to come and be part of this!
