Why and how did you start SFJC?
SFJC originated from a youth group in Mississauga, Ontario. We wanted to have an outlet for students to use their creativity in a positive way, to raise awareness of global issues and to have a voice. We were inspired by Shane Claibourne and Urban Promise, who had students printing their t-shirts.

How are students involved?
From designing to printing, promoting to website production, photography to training other students... we are involved in nearly every aspect of SFJC!

What does "Sweatshop Free" mean?
When a product is sweatshop-free, it means that the facility in which the product was fabricated provides safe work conditions, doesn't use child labour and pays a fair wage to its workers. Buying sweatshop-free supports ethical labour practices.

How can you be sure that everything is sweatshop free?
The companies we purchase our shirts from are American Apparel, Jerico and Gildan. We chose to work with these companies because we feel comfortable with their business practices with regards to fair trade and sweatshop labour. We at SFJC continue to research our suppliers to ensure we remain committed to our mission as a company. If you wish to learn more about any of our suppliers, please visit their website or contact us.

Are you a nonprofit organization/Where does the money go?
At this point, Students for Justice is not a non-profit organization. We'd like to be able to cover our bills, pay our students, and overall, keep SFJC in existence as a business. However, we do have a fund where a percentage of our profits go, and we are planning to assemble a committee of students to decide how we want to release that money into the community. Additionally - once our website gains more traffic - we are planning to post a poll on our site so that you can have a say in where this money should go!

How can I get involved?
If you're in the area and would like to volunteer with printing, we would love for you to contact us. For high school students, this can be a valuable volunteer opportunity for your Community Service hours needed for graduation! Other than that, we would really appreciate your support by wearing our merchandise, putting up one of our banners on your website/myspace/blog (you can find our banners on this page), or even just telling your friends about us.

How much will it cost me to print ___ shirts?
There are many factors that contribute to this price such as type of shirt (Gildan or American Apparel), quantity, if you require a design, etc. Please visit the contact page and get in touch us.

I have a design that I want printed, how does that happen?
If you're looking to print your design on a large number of shirts for an event, group, or organization, please contact us and we can get started!

Where do you ship to?
At the moment we only ship to Canada. We're looking into shipping to the States, and hopefully more from there.

How can I get you to talk to our group/school?
Please contact us about it.
