We view fashion as a pathway to advocacy, understanding we are citizens before customers. This Earth Month, there are unique opportunities for lasting collective action. Fashion is one of the least regulated industries globally, which has resulted in it being a major driver of environmental degradation and a leading industry of modern-day slavery.\xa0 The New York State Fashion Act is the first piece of legislation that requires the industry to operate within planetary boundaries. It will mandate brands with revenue over 100 million dollars to be transparent with their supply chain and be accountable for emission reductions, chemical usage, and the livelihood of garment workers.\xa0 We are all part of an integrated, universal society – your voice matters. We invite you to amplify your voices in support of The Fashion Act by signing on to the act, sharing it on social media, or joining us in person at Lobby Day on May 7th. |
