American corporations doing their favorite dance, it is called the Sweatshop Shuffle and they’ve made it look effortless. Americans won’t change their consumption habits, so why would these companies change the production methods that keep everyone looking fly? Get that Gap, girl.
This is also why I won’t just talk about food and food justice. I am ultimately only interested in decolonization. This is the world that Western Capitalist Imperialism has built. This is about industrial channels of production and consumption practices that RELY on the dehumanization of others. Our food system is just one cog in this shitty machine. Working toward an oppression-free lifestyle has always been important to me, and for fashion-based reasons alone, I wouldn’t be caught DEAD in these stores/brands as it is. But, I’m always quite thankful for a little update to my boycott list.
14 companies refused to sign, and we should all know who they are:
Wal-Mart
Gap
Macy’s
SEARS
JC Penney’s
NorthFace
Target
Kohl’s
CATO Fashions
Osh Kosh
Nordstrom
American Eagle Outfitters
Foot Locker
The Children’s Place
Fuck em and Duck em, ya’ll.

that sounds great! I was mostly just taking language classes, it was kind of an intense program but it was a great experience. when I wasn’t doing class things, I was mostly exploring Beijing, there are so many things to do! :)
