Review of At Risk Youth Design Sweatshop-Free Fashions


Jim Moses' feature about Providence, R.I.'s Broad Street Studio's program employing at-risk youth designing sweatshop-free clothing is uplifting. We need more media coverage of such programs. I found myself wanting some stats on how many of our famous brands are guilty of sweatshop violations. I was also curious about the "cool hunters" mentioned in the synopsis. (A potential story?) All in all, I know I would appreciate hearing this piece by Jim Moses, and it left me wanting to learn more about the issue.
