How did the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition get started & who runs it?
The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition grew out of the Chalk project. The steering group is volunteer run by a diverse group of artists, activists, and academics all committed to supporting a citywide commemoration of the Triangle Factory fire.

What are the goals of the coalition?
We seek to create as broad a coalition as possible for a citywide commemoration of the Triangle Factory fire in March 2011. The fire touched many communities and resonates with the fight for social justice today. We believe that the coalition is strengthened by the diversity of its members and strongly encourage new collaborations as well as the creation of participatory activities.

How does the coalition do its work?
First by listening – we want to know what you are already passionate about and what you would like for the centennial. Second by networking – there are a diversity of communities with different resources all creating activities for the centennial. As a clearing house we seek to match partners so that our combined resources can expand the possibilities of what can be achieved. We offer ongoing public meetings and events and a central source of information on resources as well as publicity for the centennial.
