✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿Great action from @OhSoEthical and @venetialamanna! @boohoo @OfficialPLT, when are you going to backpay the workers found to be working for less than half the minimum wage in your supply chain? #PayYourWorkers
Yesterday @OhSoEthical and I staged a protest outside the #PLTbyMollyMae show. @OfficialPLT are not for "every body". @boohoo group do not care about the people who make their clothes. They don't care about the planet. Disposable fashion is harming all of us. #PayYourkWorkers
