This **Saturday, December 15 at 5:30pm**, Bangladeshi immigrants, unions, community groups, New York low wage workers, and elected officials will gather at the corner of Church Ave and McDonald for a memorial for [workers who were killed in a factory fire in late November](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324296604578176983283834310.html?ref=bklyner.com). From Councilmember Brad Lander:

> Members of Brooklyn’s Bangladeshi immigrant community will join with community allies for a Saturday memorial for the 112 workers killed in last month’s fire at a Bangladeshi garment factory. The event will feature performances from Bangladeshi artists and speeches from Bangladeshi leaders, unions, community groups, New York low wage workers, and elected officials.

> After the memorial, participants plan to join a rally at the Golden Farm Supermarket (329 Church Avenue), the site of two years of labor organizing for better pay and working conditions.
