Action Materials
Our action materials are geared to enable you to take action either by yourself or as a local group. There are sheets giving tips on letter writing; demos; stalls and easy to digest issues to inform your campaigning. You can also download pdfs of our targeted campaign action cards here. These action cards are designed specifically so you can alert companies to the current campaigns we are running and recommend that they take direct action to improve workers' rights.
In the Action Card we are calling for long-awaited severance pay to be given to workers at PT Kizone and for Edinburgh Woollen to step up to ensuring safety in their supply chains.
Our Action Card this time deals with the crucial worker safety issues of factory fires and mass fainting.
Our newest leaflet, Swooning Over Fashion highlights the key issue of mass fainting from our new No More Excuses campaign...
In this action card you can find info about the latest edition of LBL's respected report "Let's Clean Up Fashion". Based on the findings of the report, the action card urges Gap and H&M to wake up to the needs of garment workers in their supply chains - they were notably low or backtracking on their work to improve rights and conditions where their clothing is produced.

The other card is addressed to Somyot himself, giving him greetings of hope for the new year and space for your own message of support and solidarity.

They go straight to the heart of a company, its retail outlets, and target the people the company most cares about: its consumers. Shop actions can be quite daunting at first, but they are also really rewarding and fun- so get a few mates together and give it a go!
