Child Labor Solstice Vigil
Brattleboro VT - Friday, 21 December 1999

CLEA members demonstrate
about child labor issues.		 Neither cold nor darkness dampened their enthusiasm. Youth activists raised awareness
in their community.

Even before the CLEA grant period began in January, CLEA members from Brattleboro Union High School (BUHS) had already engaged in planning meetings and actively staging events such as the candlelight vigil on December 21 in Brattleboro. The purpose of the vigil was to raise public awareness about child labor. This was one example of many activities carried out by CLEA students during the year to help bring about change in people's understanding and actions in order to reduce our contribution to oppressive labor conditions, especially for children, in the U.S. and in many other countries.
