Fair Trade the White House

“Fair Trade the White House,” a grass-roots, nonpartisan coalition of fair trade organizations, vendors, retailers, schools, and individuals, are cordially inviting the First Lady to join the fair trade movement and declare the White House a “Fair Trade Home.” By declaring the White House a “Fair Trade Home,” Mrs. Obama can encourage households throughout America to continue refining their buying habits toward ethical consumption so that poverty, both in America and around the world, is reduced.

Labor Day

Happy Labor Day from Fair Trade the White House!

Labor Day was founded in 1894, protecting the rights of U.S. workers from unfair wages, working too many hours and unfair working conditions. That's why we celebrate this special holiday. Unfortunately, many of the issues fought against last century still exist today.

This Labor Day, shop sweat free and ensure the items you purchase are treating others fairly. Find a sweat free and fair shopping list at Sweat Free Communities.
