Survivors & family members of the Rana Plaza collapse protest (on July 31st) at the headquarters of The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers & Exporters Association (BGMEA), the trade group promoting & running interference for sweatshops. Protestors are demanding compensation. They have a long & difficult political battle ahead but guided by the mantra “an injury to one is an injury to all” we can actively solidarize with them by getting the word out about the human rights crimes of US & European retailers & demanding compensation from these cut-throat predators with manicured fangs.
