For the first time, the U.S. Congress has established a caucus dedicated to fashion's environmental and social impacts. Led by Representative Chellie Pingree (D-ME), the Slow Fashion Caucus aims to address issues such as textile waste, labor conditions, and the industry's carbon footprint. The caucus includes members from diverse states, reflecting broad political support. Pingree highlights the urgency of government intervention to regulate fast fashion, encourage sustainable practices, and involve young people in the movement towards a more responsible fashion industry.
