Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition

The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition is a New York-based, all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization that educates the public about the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire through its ongoing arts projects, educational outreach, and social media sites. The Coalition works with the New York City Central Labor Council, the Fire Department of New York, New York University, and various community groups to plan and implement the annual remembrance activities on the anniversary of the fire on March 25.

Throughout the year, the Coalition offers programming to raise public awareness about the fire and explore its continuing relevance for worker rights and workplace safety. On our website and via social media we provide resources about the Triangle fire for educators and promote the work of organizations that advocate for worker rights and safety in the US and around the globe. In October 2023, the Coalition, in partnership with Workers United - SEIU and the New York City Central Labor Council, dedicated a permanent memorial on the Brown (formerly Asch) Building where the fire happened to honor those who died in the fire and the movements for social justice that emerged in its aftermath.
