You know what the problem is. Millions of people, mostly young women, make our clothes in brutal wage slavery. They start work in their early teens and don’t stop till they emerge in their thirties, half blind and crippled, just as desperately poor as when they started.

We think we can help them change all that.

MASS is a new initiative of musicians and fans who are intent on driving sweatshops out of the music merchandising business and empowering garment workers around the world to resist exploitative working conditions.

The fashion industry listens to the youth. The youth listens to the music. Together, fans and musicians can make sweatshops so unfashionable as to make them unfeasible.

Step One is to clean up the music merchandising business. MASS members are doing this by sourcing all of their merchandise from union shops or worker owned cooperatives. To learn more about MASS and how to participate, please select one of the menu options to the left.
