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.

Autonomie Project, Inc.

Always vegan. Always eco-friendly. Always sweatshop-free.

Autonomie Project (AP) is a new Fair Trade fashion company offering stylish sweatshop-free & eco-friendly footwear, clothing and accessories. Born out of frustration that most sweatshop-free clothing was unfashionable and most eco-friendly clothing was likely made in a sweatshop (and that most major corporations lack any kind of true transparency), a few good friends set off to start a new and different company.

Their mission: to supply high-quality, stylish garments to consumers that seek to make purchases that align with their values without having to sacrifice their own personal style, all while making a positive social impact on their earth and raising awareness about today’s most pressing global issues.

AP use organic cotton, all natural FSC rubber, and other eco-friendly & locally-sourced materials whenever possible to lessen their environmental impact. They never use animal products and encourage cruelty-free purchases. AP assists their workers with the development and marketing of their products so that they may prosper and become thriving participants in a reconfigured global marketplace.
