'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter'. Based on the words of Martin Luther King, this t-shirt is a powerful call to action in an age where popular media instead fosters passive acceptance. Martin Luther King was the leader of one of the great movements for justice, equality and peace in modern times and a pioneering thinker on methods of nonviolent conflict resolution and social change.

Benefits for the producers and the planet:- Organic production means
no toxic pesticides and insecticides are used in cotton growing. That means better health and less debt for the Indian farming families.
- Traditional cotton growing uses about 60% of all toxic chemicals used in India, so moving to organic production makes a huge difference.
- The
organic cotton growing is certified by
the Global Organic Textile Standard.
- The
Chetna Organic Farmers Association is registered by FLO-International (
Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International) which ensures a fair price and conditions for the farmers. This FLO registration also ensures cotton production:
- Is child-labour free
- Is produced by small & marginal farmers
- Is socially responsible for its farmers and farm-workers in the production chain
- Is absolutely free of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
- Cotton spinning is done in a factory that is ILO (International Labour Organization) compliant and also ISO 9001:2000 (quality management) certified.
- The factories producing the final products are
meeting all ILO requirements for their workforces (in fact they do better than ILO requirements, for example by providing primary and secondary education for the workers' children, and a revolving loan scheme for workers).
- Whenever dyes are used the organic fabric dyeing process is
GOTS certifiedIn brief our project partners at Rajlakshmi Cotton Mills and the Chetna Organic Famers Association are working very hard to ensure that conditions in the entire production chain exceed the goals of the
Clean Clothes Campaign
