News:
The Student Labor Action Project has officially WON its campaign to get the University of Washington to adopt the Designated Suppliers Program (DSP).

The DSP is the result of collaboration between universities, United Students Against Sweatshops, and the Workers Rights Consortium, and will act as a mechanism to source officially licensed collegiate apparel from factories that guarantee living wages and the right to organize for workers.

We are in the process of updating our website. However, if you wish to learn about previous campaigns and SLAP's history, please visit us on the web at http://students.washington.edu/uwslap/.
