Never forget. If you want to learn more @StreamOnMax has the short documentary on the fire “Triangle: Remembering the fire.” Protections for #labor, #fire, #workplacesafety were fought for the result of other’s injuries or deaths. Respect the history.

Big crowd at the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Memorial dedication in NYC today. The 1911 fire killed 146 workers, including many who jumped to their death because the factory owners had blocked access to exits. We remember those lost.
JOIN US for the unveiling and dedication of the Triangle Fire Memorial on Wednesday. As we honor the 146 workers - mostly immigrant teenage girls and young women - who were killed, we must also commit ourselves to fighting to ensure that all workers have safe & dignified jobs.
