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 United Students Against Sweatshops.The short explanation of this alert was: Since November 17th students at Purdue Univeristy have been on a hunger strike until President Martin Jischke signs onto the Designated Suppliers Program. Yes, today is the 19th day of hunger striking for some students. As of right now, there are fifteen students currently striking. Multiple students have required hospitalization and some have been forced to stop striking for health reasons. The students will contine the strike until Purdue makes a real commitment to supporting the rights of workers producing their clothes. Show your support today by calling and sending a letter to Purdue University President Martin Jischke. President Martin Jischke 765-494-9708
Phone script:
My name is __________ and I am a ___________ at __________ University. I am appalled that Purdue has not signed onto the Designated Suppliers Program and has forced students to hunger strike for 20 days before Purdue saw fit to even discuss the issue. I demand that Purdue University adopt the DSP on the 6th. Not signing the DSP shows that Purdue wishes to remain complicit in some of the worst human rights abuses occurring in the world. I hope that Purdue University does not wish to present this image to the rest of the university community.
