Dear Friend,



Today we commemorate the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire <[link removed]> and the heartbreaking deaths of 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women and girls. Trapped in the burning factory by locked doors, many leapt to their deaths from the building’s high windows while others asphyxiated or burned inside. Photographs of the tragic aftermath shocked the conscience of the country, and led to improved safety standards for factories, stricter labor laws for children, and the growth of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.







One hundred ten years later, workers' rights have regressed as Democrats and Republicans collude to undermine the power of unions in favor of corporate interests.



A recent expose <[link removed]> documented migrant childrenas young as twelveworking in dangerous jobs, with no oversight by the Department of Health and Human Services responsible for protecting them. It is as if the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory disaster never happened.



The Green Party advocates for the physical and emotional health of children and workers <[link removed]> through support for universal federally funded childcare, financial family assistance, and a living family wage. We believe children should spend their days playing and learning- not working.



Your donation helps our party and its candidates advocate for better educational opportunities for children, and safer workplaces for their parents. Donatetoday <[link removed]> to the Green Party of the United States and support us in our mission to create a more just and hopeful world for all.
