Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition

(2008 - present)

In preparation for the March 2011 Centennial of the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, Ruth founded the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition in 2008.

Over a three year period, the Coalition grew into a national network of over 250 partners who created hundreds of educational, activist and artistic actions across the country. The focus of the Coalition was on a legacy of the fire which is no less true today then in 1911 - that your choice as an individual to be active or passive in civic engagement has a direct impact on our broader community.

Please visit Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition to join the ongoing effort to create a Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Memorial.
