When you read “Made in the USA” you may think of high-quality garments produced under fair working conditions and living wages. In reality, however, American garment workers experience the second-highest rate of wage theft of all US workers and often don’t even get paid a minimum wage. These are just symptoms of a demise that affects the American garment sector.

In a world where fashion trends can change in the blink of an eye, the FABRIC Act ultimately stands as a testament to the enduring values of justice and compassion. It’s a call to action, a plea to put the rights and well-being of garment workers front and center. It marks an opportunity to weave a new narrative—a story of empowerment, dignity, and lasting change in the fashion industry. There are a myriad of ethical and sustainable fashion brands supporting the FABRIC Act and leading the way to a brighter and more just future for American fashion.
