Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit International Labor Rights Forum.

The short explanation of this alert was:

As you may remember, we sent a previous action alert requesting that you contact your MD Delegate to let them know you are in favor of a bill that would end the use of taxpayer dollars to purchase uniforms manufactured by companies that exploit women and children.

 

Since the introduction of HB 290, awareness of the issue has grown and concerned citizens have sent hundreds of postcards and emails and made calls to their legislators in support of the bill. However, the SweatFree Maryland Campaign decided to withdraw the bill for this session because there wasn't enough time for the subcommittee to vote on the bill.  We will introduce the bill again next year and in the mean time will hold informational meetings around the state over the next several months, to continue to inform legislators and the public about the issue. 

 

Please take this time to send a note of thanks to the MD Delegates that supported the bill.
