Following are two opportunities to speak up for garment workers. Neither action takes long, but lending our support will not only add to the number of voices calling for action + accountability...it will show garment workers that the consumers of their work value them + are willing to stand with them.
1. After the Rana Plaza building collapse in Bangladesh killed 1134 garment workers...unions, NGOs, + consumers demanded that apparel companies sign a fire + building safety accord. The accord was signed by more than 200 companies + now covers 1600 factories employing 2.26 million garment workers. The Bangladesh High Court is currently bringing a restraining order against the accord. We have until November 30 to speak out in support of this life-saving accord.

2. In 2013, H&M committed that they would pay their garment workers living wages by 2018. Research has shown that many of H&M's garment workers are still working for poverty wages. Let H&M know that we care about the garment workers who make our clothing + hold H&M accountable.
I'd encourage those who sign these petitions to customize their comments in some way, so that they stand alone + come across as sincere. Thank you for standing up + speaking out. Together our messages are stronger + more influential. Our message of love just might reach the ears + hearts (+ wallets) of the ones for whom it is ultimately meant.
Love,
Jane
