Learn

We believe it is our responsibility to learn as much as we can about the issues that relate to our work. Here are some great links (and related twitter handles) to help you learn more about the work that we do:

FAIR TRADE

Fair Trade Federation (@FTFederation) this trade association (we're members!) offers a wealth of knowledge - learn how to start a fair trade business, explore fair trade organizations from all over the world, get answers to questions.

Fair Trade Principles - organized by the Fair Trade Federation, this gallery is a fantastic visual representation of the 9 principles of fair trade.

Fair Trade USA (@FairTradeUSA)- the lead certifying body of fair trade products in the United States (think bananas, coffee, chocolate, cotton - they started a pilot apparel program too!)

Fair Trade Resource Network - an information hub designed to grow the fair trade movement, with publications, events, teaching tools, etc.

Fair Trade Towns USA (@FairTradeTowns) turn your town into a Fair Trade Town - a community of conscious consumers, activists, business and retail, local organizations, and city or town government. Find out how to unite your town in support of fair trade.

United Students for Fair Trade (@FairTradeCampus) - a national network of student organizations advocating around Fair Trade principles, products, and policies. Start a fair trade campaign on your campus!
