A California week in photos


Naked protest at UC at Berkeley and photos of the week

Berkeley protest against sweatshop labor practices
Students Organizing for Justice in the Americas (SOJA) staged a rally on the UC Berkeley campus Wednesday clad in "Sweat-free UC" signs - and little else.

On the brisk late-winter afternoon, roughly two dozen students stripped down to their skivvies - or poster board equivalents - to protest the sale of university-logo merchandise that they say is produced in sweatshops.

Hordes of passers-by stopped to gawk at the chanting demonstrators, who donned signs like "You didn't fix it, so we got naked," and "Support the skinny Asian boys making your clothes."
