Formed in 2005, FTLA is an open, democratically-organized group of people who share a common goal to promote social justice and environmental awareness around the world. We are committed to spreading the ideals of Fair Trade.
Fair Trade LA objectives:
- To inform the Los Angeles consumer about Fair Trade as an aspect of social justice.
- To bring more Fair Trade products to the Los Angeles area and increase sales of those items.
- To connect members of the L.A. community with others who have similar environmental, social, political and economic concerns.
- To educate young students about fairness in our trade dealings with other countries and engage them in promoting fair trade.
Fair Trade LA participants include students from all over the Los Angeles area, individuals, members of faith-based organizations, and many other groups and individuals! Anyone interested in this endeavor is invited to join and participate. We meet about once a month and participate in various events about once or twice a month.
