An increasing number of individuals and organizations are calling for all major apparel companies to join the independent Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement, which two large retailers have already adopted. Nearly 100,000 people have signed a petition on Change.org calling on Walmart, H&M and Gap to join the program.

A similar petition on SumOfUs.org has generated over 200,000 signatures to Walmart, the major buyer of apparel from Tazreen Fashions which burned on November 24. These petitions were hand-delivered in actions at Gap and Walmart offices on December 14.
