5/12: World Fair Trade Day


I am involved with Chicago Fair Trade (CFT), a newly formed not-for-profit organization seeking to build the movement for fair trade in the Chicago area. For my first posting I wanted everyone to be aware of an upcoming event to celebrate World Fair Trade Day in Chicago.

Join CFT at the HotHouse on May 12. Participate. Help grow the movement. CFT seeks support for its efforts to raise awareness of the need for trade justice worldwide, including the lauch of a local campaign to make Chicago a "Fair Trade City."

CFT’s membership includes non-governmental and faith-based organizations, fair trade businesses, educational institutions, student groups and individual activists.
