Fair Trade Month is all about spreading the word.  It’s about letting your friends, family and coworkers know what a big difference Fair Trade makes in the lives of small farmers and farm workers throughout the world.  It’s about requesting (sometimes demanding?) Fair Trade at stores, restaurants and cafes.  And it’s about starting a Fair Trade Towns campaign or hosting fun events that get your whole community involved!

This year, Fair Trade Month has gone online – and so has spreading the word!

As October approaches, we need you, our loyal Fair Trade supporters, to help us reach two Fair Trade Month goals:
3,100 followers on Twitter
31,000 fans on Facebook

Throughout the month, we will use Twitter and Facebook to get the message out about Fair Trade.  We will post daily Fair Trade facts,  fun ways  for you to get involved and listings of Fair Trade Month events.  We will  also have lots of product giveaways and special coupon codes for discounts on Fair Trade Certified products.

So, how can you help?

Twitter: Retweet this message: October is Fair Trade Month!  Follow @FairTradeUSA for daily Fair Trade facts, event listings and giveaways! www.fairtrademonth.org
