Rally at the Embassy of Uzbekistan to Stop Forced Child Labor
On October 14, 2009, a rally was held in front of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, DC to protest the widespread use of forced child labor on Uzbek cotton farms.

The rally was sponsored by: AFL-CIO, American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Child Labor Coalition, Communication Workers of America (CWA), International Labor Rights Forum, Not for Sale Campaign, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), Workers United
