Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition Welcome to the Coalition

On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire took the lives of 146 workers — mostly young immigrant women — and galvanized a movement for social justice. Today, the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition, a nationwide coalition of organizations and individuals is committed to honoring the victims and legacy of the fire. We invite you to join our growing movement as we continue our centennial year remembrance and begin to build the long overdue permanent Triangle Fire Memorial.

Who We Are
 The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition connects individuals and organizations with the 1911 Triangle Factory Fire, one of the central events in US history, a turning point in labor’s struggle to achieve fair wages, dignity at work and safe working conditions. Outrage at the deaths of 146 mostly young female immigrants inspired the union movement and helped to institute worker protections and fire safety laws. Today, basic rights and benefits in the workplace are not a guarantee in the United States or across the world. We believe it is more vital than ever that these issues are defended.

Our Mission
The mission of the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition is to establish a permanent memorial to those who died in the fire, so that their sacrifice will never be forgotten; to organize annual remembrance activities each March 25th, on the anniversary of the fire; and to encourage activism by and for workers around the world, so as to honor and continue the spirit of social conscience that arose from the ashes of the Triangle.
