Fighting Fast Fashion

Hoda Katebi

Berkeley Law student Hoda Katebi was featured in a recent New York Times Q&A about her efforts to dismantle the global garment industry and its fast-fashion sweatshops. An activist, writer, and speaker, Katebi in 2019 launched Blue Tin Production, a Chicago clothing cooperative run by working-class women of color. “I run on saffron ice cream and colonizer tears,” she says.
