WAAKE-UP!

WAAKE-UP! (World Awareness and Action Koalition of Equal United Progressives!) was controversial radical leftist student and community group at the University of Colorado at Boulder active from 1999 to 2001. Though the group was active in many campaigns and supported many progressive causes they were best known for the "Sweatshop Campaign" to get University of Colorado apparel made in factories supporting fair labor conditions. Though the campaign was initally unsuccessful, it's goals were later fullfilled by WAAKE-UP!'s successor organization, 180 degrees at 11. Like many other progressive organizations, WAAKE-UP! was in the Denver Police Spy Files.
