JUSTSHIRTS is the creative offspring of the academic, activist, social justice and union communities located in Calgary, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario. In our travels to Central America as researchers from the University of Calgary, we were overwhelmed by both the lack of economic opportunities for women and by the energy, enthusiasm and optimism that these same people had to improve their lives. These experiences as well as our conversations about blackspot sneakers, capitalism, consumption, maquiladoras, social responsibility and sweatshops, convinced us that there is a better way!
