Posted: 20 May 2013
We have 24 hours left until GAP’s Annual Shareholders Meeting begins — it’s our best chance to shame CEO Glenn Murphy into signing the Bangladesh Fire and Safety Agreement. Let’s bombard GAP HQ with calls , flood Glenn Murphy with messages that shame him to personally feel public pressure to sign, and create a ‘social media storm’ on GAP’s...

kind of along the same line as the post I just reblogged, I just want to emphasize how much I owe my librarians. I was a bored kid in a small suburban town and the library was my go-to hangout spot (because, you know, I was that cool). apart from doing my homework— oh, let’s be real. Okay.
