What is Hands United on the Border?
Hands United on the Border is a multi-national event intended to help create global awareness about workplace inequities and safety issues in international offshore manufacturing facilities. It is intended to be an expression of support for offshore manufacturing workers and their families. Thousands of workers and supporters on both sides of the border will line up and join hands in their respective neighborhoods, cities and towns along the Mexico/US Border as a show of solidarity for offshore factory workers working everywhere around the world. This event is designed as a peaceful gathering to increase worker visibility and start the global conversation about a more equitable and fair working environment for all workers worldwide.
Partners for Responsible Trade Inc. will sponser this global event in order to give factory workers a voice and a presence in the global consciousness.
The event takes place annually on May 1st for 15 minutes. We encourage groups of people from all over the world to participate in this event as a show of solidarity with offshore factory workers. You can gather wherever you would like to join hands with your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Outside of your house, at your church, at the park, etc. Take lots of photos and video of your group to add to our collection. Send all photos and videos of the event to responsibletrade@gmail.com or post to our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/handsunitedontheborder.
