The Human Rights Awareness Tour No Sweat Fashion Show features several sweatshop free clothing companies that uphold strong worker ethics and comply with the 23rd article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Clothing manufacturers that advertise as "Sweatshop Free" must have worker led unions, fair wages, and a safe, comfortable working environment for employees. Several companies featured, such as No Sweat Apparel, purchase products from cooperatives in developing countries such as Palestine for fair prices, while others sell apparel manufactured in the U.S. The aim of the No Sweat Fashion Show is to give festival goers the option of making a difference in the world just by being a consumer; catalogs and coupons are available at the show to facilitate this option.
