Nike Fun Run Fun - No to Nike Naked Greed
No Sweat will meet up at Barnes Train Station at 9am on Sun Sep 22 for some fun direct action at the run. We need as many people as possible to maximise the impact we can make, bring your mobile and leave your inhibitions at home.

Nike get big publicity out of this event - posing themselves as benevolent do-gooders, raising money for London schools. Meanwhile they make that money from paying poverty wages to kids who are denied the chance of going to school as they are working forced overtime in a factory producing for Nike.
We'd rather go naked than wear sweatshop will be the theme - a clue there but given the physical state of most of us it may be little short of actually going naked!
Our contact numbers on the day will be 07904 431 959 or 07979 046 219.
For more details call Mark on 07931 319 685 or Gary on 07979 046 219.
Ps someone seems to be attacking Nike's expensive ad campaign for the run with stickers and 6ft long posters (see pic). Obviously No Sweat wouldn't encourage that sort of thing!
