Hi everyone, this is Brian from Agents of Change.


We have recently been sponsored by No Sweat Apparel (http://www. nosweatapparel. com), a company that adamantly supports workers rights and opposes sweatshop conditions.

They are attempting to obtain a grant from a website named ideablob to
help sustain their efforts. To help them, all you need to do is go to:
http://www. ideablob. com/ideas/1699-Organic-cotton-sweatshop-free-T and
vote for their idea to win. It requires a registration to their website, but that is free and you don’t have to worry about ideablob spamming you.



The deadline is March 31st, so time is of the essence. If you are concerned about human rights, it is a very simple way to help a company that is attempting to act in an ethical and responsible manner.



Thanks,
Brian

PS - Here’s the message I received from No Sweat:

Hello Brian,

Thanks so much for your sponsorship with us and your ongoing support for our business. As you may have already heard, the life of No Sweat is in great danger, as we have fallen on very rough financial times. As one of the only completely sweatshop free shopping alternatives out there, we want to be able to stay in business for you and for our loyal customers & supporters.



This is why we need your help!

We have been waiting for a break; a grant that could give us the adequate
resources we desperately need to thrive. With a bit of luck and the support
of our friends and family, we have just been named finalists in Idea Blob’s
March contest. If we manage to win this we will be given $20,000 to grow our
business. I’d like to ask you to go here:
http://www. ideablob. com/ideas/1699-Organic-cotton-sweatshop-free-T and
take five minutes of your time to vote for us.You will first be asked to register, creating a user ID and password. After simply confirming your email address, you will be able to vote. There’s only one day left to do so, so please hurry! We would greatly appreciate your help.


If it’s not too much to ask, we’d love it if you could pass this plea on to your band mates, and even your fans. Thank you so much in advance.



In solidarity,
Christina
