Sweat shop protest

Sweatshop Watch, a California-wide coalition, protested in front of Levi Strauss and CO's flagship store at the Third Street Promenade on Saturday. They complained about the abuse of garment workers in the Lajat factory in Gomez Palacio, Mexico. They want to talk to Levis and address the sweatshop conditions including: Unpaid overtime, lack of access to drinking water and clean bathrooms, exposure to dangerous chemicals, denial of freedom of association. Because Levi's is Lajat's largest client, workers and their supporters are calling for Levi's to ensure workers rights are respected at the factory and are asking Levi' to Enforce its Code of Conduct and Respect Workers' Right to Organize!

Santa Monica Police Activity League held its annual holiday workshop on Thursday December 15, 2005. Santa pulled up riding atop of a Santa Monica fire truck to hundreds of waiting children. All the kids got to see Santa and received a gift from him. Many craft stations were set up for the kids. The ginger house station was the most popular craft station. Raffle prizes were gave out throughout the entire event. The kids and parents had a great time.
