Solidarity Vigil for Sri Lankan Garment Worker
2025-12-17 17:30 - 18:30 (America/New_York)
Our friends at the Coalition for Labor Union Women (CLUW) and Global Labor Justice have organized a solidarity vigil on Wednesday, December 17, at 5:30pm at the Triangle Fire Memorial (23 Washington Place, NYU Brown Building), for a Sri Lankan garment worker, Paramsivan Pushpalatha, who died after seeking medical attention at a Brandix factory in Sri Lanka (supplier to Victoria’s Secret).

Since Pushpalatha’s death, her family, co-workers and union leaders have faced retaliation and intimidation from Brandix. They have asked supporters to join them. Spread the word to your friends and supporters of garment workers!

JOIN us on December 17 (note the date was changed from 12/18 to 12/17) at 23 Washington Place at 5:30 pm, to honor this worker’s memory and call on Brandix to stop the cover-up of her tragic death.

In one Lower East Side tenement, forty layers of wallpaper were found clinging to the walls – each piece applied by a new immigrant family. Using puppetry, masks and live action, Layer the Walls tells the incredible stories held within each layer. Through these stories, young audiences engage their imagination and creativity, build empathy, and better understand current events through a historical lens.

TWO DIFFERENT SHOWS:

This year, we are offering TWO different Layer the Walls experiences. Both are centered in the same tenement apartment. Layer the Walls Part I and Part II illuminate stories from different time periods. Both pieces stand alone. Bring your students to see the stories most relevant to your classroom.
