The global labor and gender justice movement is coming together to honor the life of Jeyasre Kathiravel, an Indian garment worker and union member who was organizing against gender-based violence and harassment in her workplace, but after facing months of sexual harassment by her supervisor, was found murdered in January of this year. This vigil is a call to rise up and join in solidarity with garment workers who are demanding an end to gender-based violence and harassment in the global garment supply chain.

On May Day – International Workers’ Day – hear from farmworkers and trade unionists in Honduras who are fighting for justice on the farms of multinational corporation Fyffes, the number one supplier of melons to the U.S. market.
