  3. What can I do?... 1) CONTACT THE BRANDS • Post to their Facebook page • Tweet your concerns • Call or write to the company • Ask to speak with a manager at your favorite store  Let them know that they helped create the problem and should take responsibility for fixing it—and that workers producing our garments should have a say in their factories. 2) CALL OR CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE  Ask them to pressure the government of Bangladesh to protect its workers and enforce its labor laws
