    United Students Against Sweatshops Summer Conference.

    Aug 8 2008 - 8:00am
    Aug 10 2008 - 6:00pm
    Location: 
    University of Colorado at Boulder

    United Students Against Sweatshops organizes two conferences every year where students from all over Canada and the US are invited. We get together to talk about social justice issues, mostly based around labor rights. This three day summer conference is an excellent opportunity for people new to USAS to come and learn about some of the campaigns that are being run to use student power to fight for human rights. See the website for more details and registration.
