protect it's workers

John,

Since the deadly garment factory collapse that killed one thousand workers
in Bangladesh ten years ago, over 190 companies have signed on to an
agreement to protect textile workers.

One huge name is missing: Levi’s.

With over 20 factories in Bangladesh, the world’s most famous denim brand
is putting profits over lives. And tragedies like Rana Plaza – and the 109
accidents that have happened since – mean workers will keep dying to make
jeans.

We’re not going to let them get away with it.

While the world’s attention is on the 10-year anniversary of the collapse,
we’re going to force Levi’s to finally act – sending hard-hitting mobile
billboards to its flagship store, organising media-grabbing protests, and
mobilising millions of customers to demand action.

Our movement has played a vital role pushing companies like H&M to join
the agreement, and we can do it again. But we need to quickly raise the
funds to launch – are you in?

Workers in Bangladesh who make clothing for Levi’s have shared chilling
stories of their conditions. Factory employees faint from the overwhelming
heat, are forced to work excessive overtime, and have no access to clean
or cold water or medical care.

It’s inexcusable that 10 years after Rana Plaza, Levi’s is STILL refusing
to fix these abuses by signing onto the international accord that so many
other brands have joined, committing them to pay for inspections in
factories to make sure workers are safe.

In 2021, the accord was expanded to include more safety and worker health
provisions. But as companies rushed to sign on, Levi’s continued to
refuse. That’s where we come in.

In the aftermath of the horrific collapse, the Ekō community pressured
massive fashion brands like H&M and Zara to back this new safety accord.
Now we’re ready to do it again. Our campaign team has exciting plans to
show up at Levi’s flagship store to embarrass the brand in front of its
customers and generate media attention focused on its refusal to protect
its workers.

We know these tactics work. Now we need to quickly raise the funds to pull
them off – can you chip in to help?
