Today, Dedeh, Dinar and Leni went with allies from Jobs with Justice and Action Center on Race in the Economy (ACRE) to the Nike Store in downtown Portland. The workers found the shoes they make in Indonesia and were shocked to find some had retail prices equal to more than their monthly wages. After store representatives asked them to leave, the workers and allies engaged with customers, asking how well they really know Nike and shared the story of their fight.

In the evening, the delegation met with labor and social movement allies from across Oregon at a dinner and meeting hosted by the Portland Association of Teachers. The teachers’ union president Angela Bonilla opened the meeting and connected Nike supply chain workers’ campaign to the fights of teachers and immigrant workers in the US. The workers gave powerful speeches, and the night ended with a conversation about how Oregon allies can bring pressure for the workers’ demands directly to Nike.
