We demand fashion…
TELLS THE TRUTH: Governments, fashion media, fashion councils and brand must recognise the impacts of the fashion industry on the planet including environmental degradation, pollution of seas with chemicals and micro plastics, deforestation and biodiversity loss. Fashion brands must admit accountability and work towards full transparency throughout supply chains, starting by telling the truth about the exploitation of people in the fashion industry.
ACTS NOW: Governments and regulatory bodies must take legislative action to ensure that environmental degradation and biodiversity loss is halted and that the human rights of garment workers are protected.
GOES BEYOND POLITICS: Political power in the UK is in the hands of a small group of elected politicians who fear that drastic action will prove unpopular and lose them the next general election. They are lobbied by huge corporate interests to protect certain industries, to the detriment of progress and reform. Governments must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
ENSURES CLIMATE JUTSICE NOW: The majority of fashion consumed in the UK is manufactured by marginalised people and communities in the Global South who are adversely affected by ecologically damaging textile manufacturing processes and lack of access to safe working conditions or fair wages. As the UK fashion industry benefits economically from this system of trade, our government must take responsibility and redress this injustice.
