Today, Wednesday 24th April 2024, marks the 11th anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster, an act of industrial homicide that killed well over 1000 people and marked a watershed in the global fight against sweatshop labour. Remember the dead and fight for the living.
Many congratulations, @KhaingZarAung20! Solidarity with the people of Myanmar.
