Join LaborArts and Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition at The New York Society for Ethical Culture for the sixteenth annual Clara Lemlich Social Activist Awards, honoring unsung activists–women who have been working for the larger good all their lives, in the tradition of those who sparked so many reforms in the aftermath of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Their many decades of brilliant activism have made real and lasting change in the world.
Reception follows.
This Year’s Honorees will be announced shortly.
About LaborArts
LaborArts presents powerful images to further understanding of the past and present lives of working people. We gather, identify and display images of these cultural artifacts in order to encourage more people in this country and around the world to appreciate the history of work and working people. The labor movement is a critical part of the story – although not the whole story.
About the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition
The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition educates the public about the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire through its on-going arts projects, educational outreach, and social media sites. The Coalition works with Workers United, the New York City Central Labor Council, the FDNY, New York University, and various community groups to plan and implement the annual remembrance activities on the anniversary of the fire each March 25. Throughout the year, the Coalition offers programming to raise public awareness about the fire and explore its continuing relevance for worker rights and workplace safety.
