codepink with Jodie Evans. She also

United for Peace and Justice.
Medea has traveled several times to
Afghanistan and Iraq, where she organized
the Occupation Watch Center. At
the start of 2005 she accompanied
military families whose loved ones had
been killed in the war to bring a shipment
of humanitarian aid to the Iraqi people.
In 2000, she was the Green Party candidate
for the U.S. Senate from California.
Her campaign mobilized thousands
of Californians around issues such as paying
workers a living wage, providing universal
health care, and building schools,
not prisons.
Medea is a key figure in the antisweatshop
movement, having spearheaded campaigns against companies such
as Nike and Gap. In 1999, Medea helped expose indentured servitude among
garment workers in the U.S. territory of Saipan, which led to a billion-dollar
lawsuit against seventeen retailers.
She is the author or coauthor of eight books, including the award-winning
Don’t Be Afraid, Gringo, and helped produce TV documentaries such as
Sweating for a T-Shirt.vizualizați mai puține
