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.
