The Student Movement in Canada is doing some interesting things in terms of changing the way students do business.

Rather than purchasing materials manufactured in sweatshops, from
profiteering enterprises in Canada, and elsewhere, students are doing
business with workers who control their workplace, keep their profits,
and set their hours.

United Students Against Sweatshops organizes two conferences every year where students from all over Canada and the US are invited. We get together to talk about social justice issues, mostly based around labor rights. This three day summer conference is an excellent opportunity for people new to USAS to come and learn about some of the campaigns that are being run to use student power to fight for human rights. See the website for more details and registration.
