Justice 101
Justice 101 is a set of introductory social justice resources that will be made available on EFJ's website, for teachers, students and the general public of all ages. Justice 101 will provide content and materials for 14 areas of social and economic justice, ranging from institutional racism to nuclear proliferation to the death penalty. Each issue area will include Teacher Lesson Plans, a Reading List, a list of Documentary and Short Films related to the topic, Web-based Resources, Academic & NGO Reports, Frequently Asked Questions, Statistics & Quick Facts, and First-hand Accounts from persons who have been directly impacted by the issue.

Justice 101 will fill a significant void in our educational landscape, providing critical education on issues that are not traditionally taught in schools, but which are vitally important to establishing a just and peaceful society. Your support is essential to the success of this project.

SWEAT: A Story of Solidarity
SWEAT is EFJ's independent, feature-length documentary, currently in post-production.

"SWEAT is the athlete’s version of Erin Brokovich, The Insider and Serpico. In 1997, a soccer coach at St. John’s University said no to taking part in a $3.5 million dollar deal to endorse Nike products because of Nike’s use of sweatshop labor. He was forced out of his job and outcast from the coaching ranks. People told him that he didn’t know what he was talking about, that work in a Nike factory was a “great job for those people.” He went to find out for himself. In the summer of 2000, he and a friend took off to live with factory workers in a slum in Indonesia and they lived on the workers’ wages, $1.25 a day. They lost 40lbs collectively in the month, but more importantly, by living in solidarity with workers, they built bonds of trust. Over the course of three research trips, workers shared the real human suffering behind the Nike success story. Together with workers, they have spent the past four years educating tens of thousands of people about this issue and fighting to end the injustice that Nike’s workers face each day. SWEAT is their story."

Your support will allow us to continue post-production on this important film, so that we can raise awareness among millions of people about the plight of factory workers globally.
