It’s easier and more rewarding when we work towards total ethics fashion together. Setting up a society means learning about how fashion impacts people, our fellow animals and the planet as part of a community of passionate people.

Engage with CFJ to set up a localised community group and social media page to share events, ideas and learning. Society members are also invited to join the CFJ slack where people from around the world can connect and share ideas.

Hosting a clothing swap is a great way to connect and enjoy fashion, while giving new life to clothes that might otherwise be discarded. Swaps can be a great way to invite new people into the society, too.

Always wanted to learn how to repair your clothes? Learning together is a great way to make caring for your clothes and the planet more engaging. It also helps to work together when learning new skills!

Reading Collective Fashion Justice reports, guides and articles, the ‘Total ethics fashion’ book, and other books we love is a great way to learn. Create a calendar of reading that you can come together to discuss as a group, sharing your thoughts and learnings.

Tired of the fashion industry not progressing fast enough? Get active by organising communications with brands you want to see change, as well as by getting involved with ongoing CFJ pressure campaigns and projects. Here’s where you can get creative.

CFJ can support your local society in creating legislative change in your area. Want improved laws to prevent green-washing? A ban on the sale of fur? You can help make this happen by engaging with your local elected officials.

It can be easy to forget the people who make our clothes, but remembering them is the first step to making change with them. CFJ supports students to sent postcards of appreciation to garment working people and artisans.

This society has endorsed the total ethics fashion manifesto:

“Fashion is foundational to our world and wider society – but it shouldn't be at the detriment of the Earth or ourselves.

As a university society, we champion the sustainable fashion movement; fostering a small-scale community of like-minded individuals is how we can make collective change.”
