About Me |
|
Fair Trade Towns USA (FTT) is a campaign organized by local and national Fair Trade advocates whose aim is to encourage and support Trade in the US. Following the example of the Fair Trade movement in Europe, the campaign strives to support local, grassroots groups by offering tools and resources to become a Fair Trade town or city through successful local campaigns. Fair Trade Towns brings these local groups together, united with the common goal of making Fair Trade products the standard in the US - one community at a time. Fair Trade towns and cities in the US include: Media, PA Brattleboro, VT Milwaukee, WI Amherst, MA Taos, NM Northampton, MA San Francisco, CA Many more are working on the goals to become the next FT town! Link to a map showing where there may be a FTT inititiative near you! Check out the Guidelines for becoming a Fair Trade town or city here. Join the movement and celebrate the people who make the things we buy on World Fair Trade Day, May 10th! |
