PoliSci: The Battle of Los Angeles

-Surely by now you have seen evidence of American Apparel's Legalize LA campaign, as the slogan has been emblazoned on billboards and shirts for the past few months. The effort to reform immigration laws has been fronted by AA founder Dov Charney, who happens to be an immigrant himself. The company's anti-sweatshop stance and logoless clothing have turned it into a cultural phenomenon, and now AA's trendsetting power is being used to support what is, in our opinion, a very worthy cause.
-The shirts are free with any purchase (at most locations), and you can learn more about immigration reform at the American Apparel website.
