Latest Action: Sink The Yachts, Raise The Wages!
On the 20th September 2025, the Rana Plaza Solidarity Collective gathered in Central London to join the Make Them Pay demonstration – a global day of action highlighting inequality in the lead up to COP 30 in Brazil.
We marched together in a Billionaires Out Of Fashion bloc, calling for radical change in the fashion industry.
We believe that while a £2 dress or £1 bikini is a sign of a broken fashion industry, so is a superyacht. The only reason the yachts owned by men like Amancio Ortega (Zara), Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon) even exist is because they deliberately squeeze every penny they can out of garment workers.
Exploitation is why 91% of Bangladeshi workers struggle to afford food for their families, meanwhile Jeff Bezos has a $500 million yacht and spent $237 million on just three of his luxury Miami mansions. We cannot allow this inequality to continue.
Because there are no superyachts without blinding inequality, because owning a superyacht is about the most harmful thing someone can do to the planet, and because Orca whales like flipping yachts over, we teamed up with an entire pod of Orca whales to say Sink The Yachts, Raise The Wages!
London Fashion Week
The Rana Plaza Solidarity Collective pod of Orcas was also at London Fashion Week in September 2025 with the message:
Want to slow fashion down? Tax extreme wealth. Pay living wages. Abolish billionaires.
While workers starve, the top 10 fast fashion brands collectively raked in 13.9 billion dollars in profits in 2024, enough to triple the annual wages of 4 million Bangladeshi garment workers.
