Reminder 👇🏻
Despite the glamorous appearance of the fashion industry, working models are often financially & sexually exploited by their own management companies. It’s time to pass the #FashionWorkersAct .
Model Alliance Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal Assembly Member Karines Reyes, R.N.

We are grateful to our champion in the Senate, Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, for always having our back. Now it’s time for the Assembly to act & regulate the $2.5 trillion dollar fashion industry getting rich off the backs of young, immigrant women & girls. #FashionWorkersAct

The NY Assembly Majority has always stood with workers. It’s time to show that solidarity again by bringing the #FashionWorkersAct (S.2477A/A.5631A) to the floor for a vote. We must protect those who drive NY’s fashion industry’s success. @modelallianceny Assembly Member Karines Reyes, R.N.
“Currently, models and creatives work through management companies in New York which, unlike talent agencies, escape licensing and regulation.” Please consider signing to protect models and fashion workers.

The Nygard case is yet another example of sex trafficking under the guise of legitimate modeling opportunities, and why we need to work toward prevention by passing the #FashionWorkersAct .
