If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected.
We all have our life’s work. If you’re anything like me, your work (be it your career, or leading your home, or your passion project, or all of them) is VERY important to you. My work is a huge source of joy for me, and I’m so grateful for the freedom I’ve had to pursue whatever kind of work I want to. In all that freedom, I’ve never feared for my life while at work, and I’ve always been compensated well enough to cover all my needs and at least some of my wants.
I’ve worked hard to earn the time and freedom to, for example, live overseas and spend a week exploring the ocean floor. But millions of people here in the U.S. and around the world, work much harder than I do for many more hours, and still can’t afford healthcare or to send their children to school. Everyone’s work could and should provide for their basic needs. That’s what Fair Trade stands for and fights for.
I’ve committed $250 to Chicago Fair Trade this year because I want everyone to have well-compensated and safe work, and I know there’s enough wealth in the world to make that possible.
I hope you will stand up for this too, and donate enough to make a difference today.
