ALTERATION GIVEAWAY FOR GARMENT WORKER RELIEF
Spool Feathers Here: I'm about to put the finishing touches on the Go Fund Me, but before I do, I'll be running a small giveaway for a cause that is the very heart of the Spool Feathers mission statement.
Of the 74 million some garment workers worldwide, it's estimated 80% are Women of Color. Standing with garment workers, in the US and abroad is an important part of the fight for racial equity in the face of Fast Fashion brands. (Faces that are overwhelmingly white, skinny and cis-gender.) #PayUp is a campaign that aims to ensure that garment workers are paid, as many, many Fast Fashion brands have canceled orders that have ALREADY BEEN FUFILLED by factories here and abroad. The clothes are made, the work has been done, but the workers remain unpaid-- this CANNOT stand.
Fast fashion has profited on the labor of women of color since the earliest days of colonialism, and that it continues to this day is unacceptable. By making Fast Fashion last well beyond it's 'sell by' date, Spool Feathers is determined to do its part in lessening the exploitative hold it has on garment workers.
To put my money (and time) where my mouth is, two weeks from now, that's June 25th I'll be giving three of my followers who send me proof that they've asked Fast Fashion to #PayUp one free alteration to one (1) garment of their choice!
