What you can do: email Gymboree, Fred’s and Abercrombie & Fitch
A select few retailers are getting closer to getting Uzbek cotton out of their supply chains. These include J. Crew, and Hanes, the t-shirt maker; some others don’t want to be named until they are further along in the process. But some corporations are just plain recalcitrant, including those named above.
When I go to buy school and play clothes for my 5 and 6 year olds, the last thing I want to think about are their Uzbek coevals shivering out in the fields getting dysentery from canal water. So in addition to returning the clothes I’ve bought from Gymboree lately, I’ll be sending this email to Matthew McCauley, Gymboree’s CEO, as well as his callous colleagues. Please join me.
