If you’re near LA, the Bay Area, or New York City, join a rally to demand our leaders stand strong against a Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. Oakland: www.mobilize.us/notabovethel... NYC: www.mobilize.us/notabovethel... LA: www.mobilize.us/notabovethel...
No Concessions.
Block the Merger.

Twelve state AGs sued to block Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. We raised our voices about how this mega merger would lead to job losses, fewer creative opportunities, more censorship, and reduced free expression. In a stunning blow to Paramount, the AGs filed suit and a judge issued a restraining order.

Now we need to take action to make sure the Attorneys General stand strong!

RALLY WITH US!
• Oakland: 9/20 5pm @ CAAG Office, 1515 Clay St
• NYC: 9/21 9am @ NY AG' Office, 28 Liberty St
• LA: 9/22 10am @ WGA West HQ, 7000 W 3rd

Fashion brands say they want sustainable fashion and claim to care about their workers. But our latest investigation, “Fashion’s Fair Share”, finds that 15 of Bangladesh’s biggest buyers are still putting the burden of the energy transition on the very garment workers they rely on. #GreenSky 🧵
Background photo of garment workers in Bangladesh. REPORT icon in top left corner. Arrow icon in top right corner. “Every year, 15 fashion brands buy millions of tons of clothing made by garment workers in Bangladesh. Isn't it time for Big Fashion to pay its fair share to protect the workers whom it relies on? We found that 15 global fashion brands buy more than a quarter of all the garments made in Bangladesh. We are calling on those 15 companies to ACT, and act now, by committing to join our new initiative: the Clean Fashion Investment Pact.”
