In August 1995, 80 Thai immigrant workers were freed from sewing clothes
behind razor wire and armed guards in a sweatshop in El Monte, California.

In August 2002, help commemorate the Thai workers' freedom and support
today's sweatshop workers.

Los Angeles workers who sewed the Forever 21 label under sweatshop
conditions are leading a boycott against the popular retailer of young
women's clothing.

Join them for a National Call-in Day on Monday, August 5. Call your local
Forever 21 store or the headquarters (213-747-2121) and urge Forever 21 to
pay the workers the wages they are owed and stop contracting with
sweatshops.
