    Having interviewed Nike workers, I would hope the company applies this beautiful slogan and Kaepernick’s example to its labor practices.

    Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

    The one thing refuses to sacrifice: their profits.

    If our movement’s solidarity in the struggle for justice is limited to the borders of the US, we’re doomed to fail. We support and garment workers around the world who produce for are calling on us to support their struggle too.

    This is all happening while Indonesian workers who fought for unions and better conditions are now losing their jobs as cuts and runs once again.

    Everything about this is a mediated mind fuck. Kaepernick gets paid to represent his movement, which Nike uses to sell sneakers that are manufactured in Vietnamese sweatshops, to Americans who think they're "woke." lol capitalism always wins.

    ☕️🐸 what do you have to say about this?

    Rad is backing rn, but I wish they'd also back the garment workers of color they exploit in their sweatshops, bc you know they also exist & backing dope ppl doesn't justify ur violence abroad. 🤷🏽‍♀️If we pro justice for ppl of color, let's not be exclusive.

    It's Labor Day so as we're celebrating how great it is Nike tapped Kaepernick for its latest ad, it's important to remember that groups like and have raised new concerns about some of Nike's alleged labor practices.

    Hey folks who are for their ad campaign. Learn about Nike. They’ve had over 30 to stop being physically and sexually abusive to workers. They choose abuse daily.

    Yesterday we shut down in Georgetown and delivered a warning: Nike can try to run from their responsibilities to garment workers, but they can’t hide.

    While Nike extending Kaepernick seems a cool poke in NFL’s eye, there is danger in commercializing, commodifying protest with a global corporation still wrestling with sweatshop charges () and new problems. Kaep betta be careful not to have his stance disfigured
