Buy Nothing Day?
Make Local Habit, 23.11.2009 - 01:35The concept of “Buy Nothing Day” is lost on us so instead I propose the people make it “Buy Local Day”.

ART EXHIBIT HIGHLIGHTS SWEATFREE CAMPAIGN
ASHLAND, OREGON SAYS: "NO TAX $$$ FOR SWEATSHOPS", 31.10.2009 - 20:50*Janet Essley Paintings*
Presente: “She is here with us.”
Honoring the Women Around the World Who Make Our Clothing is a series of paintings depicting women who sew the garments we wear every day.
Essley's paintings are an educational tool displayed to spotlight work Ashland is doing to ensure uniforms for police, firefighters and other public employees are free from sweatshop labor. The city first passed a sweatshop free resolution in December, 2008 followed by a procurement policy in June, 2009.
Arrangements for this exhibition have been made by the Ashland Sweatfree Campaign, a project of Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice. A special thanks for endorsement of this exhibit goes to Ashland's Public Arts Commission. An additional thank you goes to artist Janet Essley who has donated her wonderful paintings in order to raise awareness of this growing campaign.
The following Janet Essley paintings were photographed by Paul Woolery.
