We're trying to gauge the level of support we can expect from the progressive community for our anti-sweatshop initiative before we begin production.

We're trying to gauge the level of support we can expect from the progressive community for our anti-sweatshop initiative before we begin production. What we're doing is pretty simple--providing a living wage to union producers here and in the developing world, a competitive product for consumers and a reasonable return for investors. We can do all that if we don't have to advertise. That's the big if. Will the community spread the word about a for-profit venture? On the plus side, we don't compete with the existing non-profits for scarce resources and attention!
Thanks for your time,
