No Sweat, the UK campaign against sweatshops, will be holding our own events as part of "Run London", exposing Nike's role in not only getting people to sweat on the streets of London, but also due to poor working conditions in their Niketown shops, and on the factory floors where their clothes and shoes are made, for example in Indonesia. We will be taking part in the Run London event "from the inside" (i.e. running) and also from the sidelines...

One of the things we are doing is subvertising/adbusting Nikes ads for the event. See the No Sweat website at  http://www.nosweat.org.uk for details on how you can get some massive posters with the slogan "No to Nike Naked Greed" which you *might* want to post over Nikes ads on your local high street.

We're also running a competition for the best slogans to subvertise Nikes ads with.

The Nike ads on the London underground go "I'm running London on Sept 22 because..." and the final part of the slogan is "hand-written". Perfect for subvertising!

We'll try and put the best anti-Nike slogans (as they say "in 15 words or less") on some stickers and display them big and huge on the Run LOndon event at Richmond Park.

So what are you waiting for....?!?!
Take a look at the link above on www.nosweat.org.uk and post your suggestions on the website...! And bask in the glory of seeing your anti-nike 15 words or less all over London (and elsewhere!).  http://www.nosweat.org.uk/article.php?sid=255

And if you can, help out with us at the event itself : if you're running, even better!

And you don't even have to leave your computer to get involved, this time!

P.S. We've also got some massive posters for adbusting Nikes billboards and some new stickers, see the images below: get them from the No Sweat address above.
