peaceful protest against nike.

On the 12th of may, a small group of anti-sweatshop demonstrators protested outside niketown in Oxford Circus...

We were handing out leaflets and holding placards. Although we didnt have enough members to blockade the store so maybe not as much as posible was achieved. However we have managed to catch Nike offguard as this is the first demonstration of this kind to be held in the UK. There has been large scale protests in Australia which have closed off nike stores for 7 weeks straight. We have certainly made ourselves more well known ther was even a BBC reporter there. Not bad for a 6 month old organisation.
bye comrades
