“Build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from”
– Brianna Wiest
This is fair trade at its core. Organizations committed to following fair trade principles safeguard workers’ access to fair payment, good working conditions, gender equity and much more, allowing marginalized producers to, quite literally, build a better life.
At Chicago Fair Trade, our mission is to ceaselessly engage local businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions and individuals to advocate the principles of fair trade and a shared vision for justice and equity.
Every year, as a board member, I participate in our annual Flash Fundraiser, to raise funds that increase our capacity to grow awareness.
“True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake; it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from.”
Brianna Wiest
Fair trade allows workers to do just that – please join me in supporting this movement!
