Support Bangladesh Garment Workers

The Bangladeshi government is cracking down on labour rights advocates, who need our help now.

This crackdown is taking place amidst massive public demonstrations by garment workers who have been demanding increases in the country's minimum wage.

Arrest warrants have been issued against hundreds of workers and several labour rights leaders.

There is evidence that a specific company, Nassa Global Wear, has played a role in spurring the government's attacks against the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity in retaliation against worker organizing efforts at its factories.

Please write to the Bangladesh authorities to demand the release of the jailed activists, withdrawal of the criminal cases, and a guarantee of safety for all the worker leaders under attack.
