Help us grow the choir! We need to celebrate wins. Your participation in our BBF challenge is a win. Please join us in amplifying our message!

Here are samples of what you can do; make sure you complete at least one task. These actions helps us burn brighter, not burn out. Collectively, let’s celebrate and encourage one another to build back fairer!

How to Participate

Spread the word! Talk to your friends, colleagues, classmates, or loved ones and educate them about the importance of fair trade.

Write a message of support and post a selfie of you holding the message with your audience and let them know why your actions matter.

Share a photo of you with your favorite fair trade product! Make sure to tag the creator so your audience knows where to find great fair trade goods.

Share your favorite ethical outfit! #ootd, anyone? Show off your conscious closet with fair trade, thrifted, or mended clothing.
