We empower people to push for change in the fashion industry. We inform through media, education and policy initiatives. We are here to help people learn about 1) the clothing they purchase, 2) the after-life of their clothes; and 3) what questions to ask brands, politicians and themselves about clothing and the fashion industry. TNFI recognizes that the fashion industry must stop the exploitation of workers and the planet and in fact can be a positive agent of change in the world.
