HELP SUPPORT LOS ANGELES'
GARMENT WORKERS CENTER
Donate to support Los Angeles' garment workers who are facing job loss, food insecurity, and dangerous and unsafe working conditions due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The money goes directly to Garment Worker Center, a non-profit that works to distribute funds and food directly to members of LA's 45,000-person garment industry. Workers in LA typically work for illegally low wages, often for large fast fashion chains and discounters like Fashion Nova, Ross Dress for Less, and TJ Maxx.
Led by internationally renowned photographer and feminist Taslima Akhter, Bangladesh Garment Workers Solidarity is calling on clothing consumers in the West to stand in solidarity with the people who produce their clothes. They are seeking $7835 to fund an ongoing educational program in garment workers' neighborhoods.
Arisa, a human rights NGO representing South Asian workers, is raiding money to donate to migrant workers in the natural stone and clothing sectors in India.
The Awaj Foundation is a Bangladeshi non-profit founded and run by garment workers that provides support to over 740,000 workers. This fundraiser will go towards food, rent and other necessities to workers and their families who have lost jobs. These workers have little to no savings set aside to deal with the unexpected medical costs that a crisis of this magnitude will bring. This fundraiser is organized by Sarah Krasley of Shimmy, a workforce development company that helps prepare women garment workers for skilled jobs; the goal is to raise $4,000.
