Hi Priyesh! Nice to hear from you! We just launched a visual campaign to help create a space for the community to speak up and out on the issue, and stand beside the workers in Bangladesh. Here is the link to our flickr page. We are asking people to upload a photo with a message! It would amazing if you could spread the word and stand with us! http://www.flickr.com/photos/socialalterations more details on the project can be found on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Social-Alterations/231945498184

All the best to you and your team, Priyesh!

It’s a shame violence is the only way workers voices are heard.
I blogged on the issue too and found some of the stories i was reeading very disturbing!

I’ve signed up to the NLC letter, lets hope things will get better.
