Catching up

3 11 2007

Thanks to everyone who attended the Just Lives Festival on September 30th! Close to 1000 people learned about fair trade issues, sampled and bought products, and enjoyed some great music.

Fair Trade LA (and our site) have been recovering since then – and enjoying Fair Trade Month in October. During that busy month, lots of new developments in Fair Trade. Here are a couple to get you caught up:

  • check out the Fair Trade Resource Network’s events calendar
  • the Fair Trade Towns campaign has launched here in America. Media, PA and Brattleboro, VT are the first US towns, with Amherst, MA set to join them. (In Canada, Wakefield, Quebec is about to become their country’s second Fair Trade Town.)
