The RI Student Labor Action Project (RISLAP) is a campaign to reinvigorate the partnerships between workers and students in Rhode Island and to fight together for workers' rights and economic justice in Rhode Island and across the globe. Students and workers together have the power to transform the world.

Especially in Rhode Island, with the largest number of students per capita, by bringing together the youthful militancy of students with the experienced solidarity organizing of workers, we will build a powerful movement.

The Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) is a joint project of Jobs with Justice and the United States Student Association (USSA). SLAP was created to:

• Nationally network student activists involved in worker solidarity, anti-sweatshop, graduate student employee organizing, anti-corporate, living wage, and corporate code of conduct campaigns

• Connect students up with local labor, community and faith-based organizations and activists

• Provide technical assistance as well as organizing trainings and materials for use by student activists
