Day 11: Fair Trade Towns USA

ftt

Fair Trade Towns USA is an exciting, new way to get involved with the Fair Trade movement. Fair Trade Towns can be found all over the United States. According to their website, the mission is simple:

“Fair Trade Towns USA is a national movement uniting community activists from across the country who are dedicated to the principles of Fair Trade. By organizing our communities at the local level we are able to make a tangible impact on the US market to demand that international justice and equity for producers, artisans, farmers, and workers around the world is a priority of our system of international commerce.”

Already, eleven U.S. towns have become Fair Trade Towns since the campaign first started with Media, PA in 2005. The Fair Trade Towns include Brattleboro, VT; Milwaukee, WI; Amherst, MA; Taos, NM; Northampton, MA; San Francisco, CA; Montclair, NJ; Ballston Spa, NY; Chico, CA; and Bluffton, OH.
