Wereldsolidariteit is an active member organisation of the Clean Clothes Campaign and the Worldshake Campaign in Flanders - Belgium.

Wereldsolidariteit, together with many other organisations managed to gather in a month's time more than 50 000 pictures and signatures of supporters in favour of living wages in the sportswear industry. These pictures were posted on a big wall during the Worldshake happening on Saturday, May 6th. Some 15 000 - mainly young- people participated at the event.

Adidas had been invited but refused to attend. Instead David Husselbee sent a message. Adidas was catcalled by a large crowd discontented with the no show.

The action goes on until the end of May. A delegation will take the pictures to the Fit for Fair action day in Germany on June 3rd.
