For Bangladeshi workers killed in the April 25th Rana
factory collapse<br>
<br>
Saturday, May 4th<br>
<span class="text_exposed_show"> Harvard Square<br>
<br>
4:00: Vigil at Harvard Sq. T Station (Pit)<br>
<br>
4:30: Picket outside Gap store (15 Brattle St.
Cambridge)<br>
<br>
As of April 28 over 350 workers are confirmed dead and
more than a thousand are trapped in the rubble of
concrete<br>
slabs for over four days in the aftermath of a garment
factory building collapse in Bangladesh.<br>
<br>
Since the early 1990s, more than a thousand people,
mostly teenage girls, lost their lives in different<br>
garment factories in Bangladesh from fire, collapse of
factory buildings, secret killing by goons or in<br>
police shootings. These crimes recur with rising death
tolls.<br>
<br>
Join us to express your thoughts, sorrow and outrage
at the ongoing tragedy. Is the global supply<br>
chain that enforces work in the cheapest conditions
responsible for these tragedies? Is there<br>
connivance between Bangladesh government and the
factory owners? Do we as consumers have<br>
a role? We will also picket outside Gap to pressurize
it to join the Bangladesh Fire and Building<br>
Safety Agreement to make immediate safety improvements
in supplier factories. Gap is one of the<br>
global retailers (along with Walmart) that refuse to
sign this agreement.<br>
<br>
The Alliance for a Secular and Democratic South Asia
co-sponsors this event with groups including<br>

Massachusetts Interfaith Worker Justice, International
Labor Rights Forum and MA Jobs with Justice. To<br>
