Fair Trade in the CapitalWorking for global justice starts with your own choices as a consumer. Fair Trade provides farmers and artisans worldwide with fair wages, skills development and funding for schools and hospitals, while ensuring a healthier and more sustainable environment. You can support justice for farmers and artisans by purchasing Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate and crafts – and by educating others about the importance of Fair Trade.
Co-op America and All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church will host a Fair Trade Festival, where you can learn more about Fair Trade, purchase Fair Trade products, and get more involved in growing the market for Fair Trade in the DC area and throughout the country. The event will feature food, education tables, opportunities to get involved in local and national Fair Trade campaigns, and music from local performers.
The Fair Trade Festival will take place Saturday, April 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church (1500 Harvard St. NW). For more information about the festival or participating organizations and companies, contact Erin Gorman at 202/872-5337 or send an e-mail.
