The EP’s far-right & conservative alliance adopts the first legislative package OMNIBUS attacking the planet and workers. This is corporate capture in action.
🚨For the first time, @europarl.europa.eu has adopted a legislative mandate thanks to an alliance between conservatives & the far right

This vote marks a dangerous turning point for EU democracy. When anti-EU forces & lobbies write the rules, accountability dies

This week a horrible fire shook Bangladesh. The fire started in a chemical warehouse and spread to a garment factory and printing facilities, trapping workers with no way out. Most facilities were unregistered making it hard to identify relationships with international brands. This must change 👇
Smoke still rising from the chemical warehouse that caught fire in Mirpur
At approximately 10:30 am., four fire service personnel wearing protective suits and oxygen masks were seen entering the warehouse. They emerged about 20 minutes later.

We'd rather see Amazon own up to its responsibilities across supply chains. Now that would be a big deal.

We joined @cleanclothes.bsky.social, Katalyst Initiative & @solidaritycenter.bsky.social at #ClimateWeekNY for “Too Hot To Fashion”, a panel on what a #JustTransition means for garment workers.

Fair purchasing & living wages are key to tackling fashion’s climate impact.

Excellent news!! An important reminder that workers need the pay and severance they have built up after a factory closes and that brands are responsible for unpaid workers in their supply chain.
#PayYourWorkers
Good news! Lucky Brand to pay $500,000 to garment workers.
This case has immediate impact ($$$ in people's hands) & sets a precedent: No matter the layers of opaque ownership, brands are ultimately responsible for the consequences of their purchasing practices.
