Educate for Justice does most of their work around Nike- it's their
primary target since Nike is the leader in sports-apparel type
clothing(and sweatshops). They're the people that went and lived in a
Nike factory in Indonesia for a month, and they definitely do some
shareholder activism. They might have some stuff on their webpage about
it- www.nikewages.org.
