THE PROBLEM
4% of carbon emissions globally come from clothing. That is as much carbon as is emitted by France, Germany and the U.K. combined.
Over 70 million people (80% being women of color) work long hours in unsafe conditions while not making enough to live on.
93% of companies do not pay livable wages and most are not on track to meet their science-based climate targets.
OUR MISSION
We are a global advocacy organization fighting for fair pay and climate justice in the clothing industry. We lead collective action to disrupt the $2.5 trillion clothing industry. We are building a global network of citizens, press, legislators and labor leaders to connect the industry’s biggest problems with effective solutions.
OUR VISION
Today, 100 billion units of clothes are made annually for less than 8 billion people on the planet. Our Theory of Change is that paying living wages reduces the human and environmental harms with which our clothes are made today. Higher wages would shift the industry’s focus from producing cheap and disposable product while reducing carbon emissions.
EDUCATION
We inspire and train the next generation of changemakers to be fierce advocates for climate and gender justice.
We are growing our changemaker community with partnerships across universities, high schools and middle schools, including Columbia University, UC Berkeley and St. Andrews.
