Mobilize for Garment Workers!

MEETING SPOT: PIER 23 Restauraunt at 4:30 p.m we will walk over to Levis at 5 p.m.

More information about WHY we are protesting below.

Remake is campaigning to pressure major brands, such as Levi's, to sign onto the new and expanded International Accord on Health and Safety.

In 2013, the Rana Plaza factory collapsed in Bangladesh, killing 1,321 garment workers and sparking global calls to reform workplace safety in apparel factories, of which the historic Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety was born, a binding agreement that obligates fashion brands to partner in ensuring safe workplaces, including investing in equipment, training, and structural repairs. The agreement monumentally assisted with the safety of millions of garment workers and the upkeep of factory conditions in Bangladesh for eight years.

In 2021, the safety of Bangladesh’s garment factory workers hung in the balance as representatives from global trade unions and major apparel brands negotiated if there would be a future for the Bangladesh Accord. On August 25th, 2021, after months of campaigning by citizens and worker rights groups, a new, two-year binding agreement was accepted to both renew and expand the life-saving Accord to new garment-producing countries as well as to add additional protections for worker health and wellbeing.

Over 175 brands have signed on to the new International Accord! Some of the brands that have signed onto the International Accord include Adidas, American Eagle, ASOS, Bestseller, Boohoo, C&A, Esprit, H&M, Inditex (Zara), Mango, Marks & Spencer, Next, Primark, Puma, PVH (Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger), UNIQLO.

We look forward to seeing you at the Rally!
