Through the efforts of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Labor Licensing Policy Committee, T-shirts and hoodies with the UW-Madison and Bucky logos produced by Alta Gracia Apparel are now on sale at University Book Store. The brand, named for Villa Altagracia, the town in the Dominican Republic where the company?s factory is located, is pioneering a new business model that gives the workers who sew the clothing a pathway out of poverty.
