United Students Against Sweatshops protest in various stages of undress in front of California Hall at UC Berkeley and ask that the university prohibit apparel from being made in sweatshops.

Cal students take it off to protest sweatshop labor
FROM STAFF REPORTS

A group of University of California students say they won't wear university logo apparel made in overseas sweatshops - and Tuesday they proved it.

A handful of students stripped for a protest and rally at UC Berkeley to call on UC administrators to adopt a policy that would ensure that logo apparel is produced in factories that respect workers' rights.

``The naked truth is that our Cal apparel is still made in sweatshops, but we have the power to create an alternative model for the global garment industry that rewards rather than punishes good factories,'' UC Berkeley senior Nina Rizzo said in a statement.

1. Berkeley is always ahead of the times!

[Ignacio Upton]

2. Ewwwwwwww!

Most of the people who do nude protests aren't exactly the most "attractive" of the bunch. No offense though, as I agree with their message.

[IndyOp]

3. They fact that they aren't the most 'attractive' of the bunch is GREAT

Kinda nice to know other people have real bodies, too -- what is seen in mags and on TV is just bizarre in its sameness and 'perfection'.

:thumbsdown:

6. I dunno, they're not awful looking.

Though I wonder how three of the four in the photo stayed so pale living in California...

9. Seen our weather forecasts lately?

:cry: If I wanted to live in Seattle, I would have moved there!

[-..__...]

21. Shrinkage.

I'd at least wait until one of those hot and humid days before I displayed my "Package" in public.

Maybe even give myself a little trim the day before.

11. It is winter however many Californians are aware

of too much sun causing skin cancer so they don't bake out in the sun like they used to.

[tyedyeto]

12. Do you live in the Bay Area?

I used to ... not a lot of sun this time of year.

[TheWraith]

15. No, I live near Buffalo.

Around here we're under the impression that all of California is one big sunny beach, year round, except for the parts where you go skiing. :)

[demosincebirth]

14. We haven't seen the sun here for three months.

[Initech]

4. Ah... yet one more reason to love my state!

7. In the words of the immortal Tu Pac

"California... knows how to party!"

[TahitiNut]

23. Well... Lalaland is sorta OK, too.

:evilgrin:

[Terran1212]

16. I only wish there were more like UC Berkeley (across the nation)

I love how they always come out to protest and speak out, but a lot of the time they're doing these things against -- other people who agree with them? They need to do these actions in places where people believe these injustices are just.

[Greeby]

17. As a part-time nudist myself, thought I'd weigh in

Personally, I'm not keen on people who only go halfway. Either get dressed or get naked, one or t'other

[CatWoman]

18. PICS DAMMIT!!!

[Greeby]

It's the most terrific region in the whole durn country! It's also the home of some of the most terrific DUers. (Let's all move there!?!)

[CatWoman]
