Since 2000, SLAP has brought together student activists in the DC area involved in campaigns to support the struggles of workers on our campuses, demand sweat-free college apparel and ethical contracting policies, and to rally with workers all around the city. We are students at University of Maryland, George Mason, Howard University, Johns Hopkins, Catholic University, American University, Geroge Washington, Montgomery College, and Georgetown. |
