Post a selfie on social media and join in the new revolution...
Now here's a good example of social media for social change. The second annual Fashion Revolution Day is coming up this April 24th. It's a holiday in memory of the 1,133 dead and over 2,500 injured during the collapse of a building composed of multiple clothing factories in Bangladesh. For this occasion, people will post selfies showing the tags on their clothing, then tweet the companies behind them and ask who made the garment. The intention is to bring awareness to the dehumanizing conditions so many garment-makers in poorer nations are subjected to. The hashtag #whomademyclothes will be used. Keep an eye out on Twitter, or maybe participate yourself!
