Description: Archived website of United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS), a national student labor campaign organization founded in 1997, describes its work as follows: "United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) is a grassroots organization run entirely by youth and students. We develop youth leadership and run strategic student-labor solidarity campaigns with the goal of building sustainable power for working people. We define “sweatshop” broadly and consider all struggles against the daily abuses of the global economic system to be a struggle against sweatshops" ("Mission, Vision, and Organizing Philosophy," http://usas.org/about/mission-vision-organizing/, accessed June 13, 2018). Based in Washington, D.C., USAS represents student workers through locals on more than 150 college campuses ("About," http://usas.org/about/, accessed June 13, 2018).
