October is Fair Trade Month

Written By Five Stones

October is Fair Trade month. Fair Trade Campaigns and Fond du Lac County Audubon has invited Equal Exchange to start a conversation on sustainability, authentic fair trade and how our purchases impact small farmers around the globe. This is a virtual event on October 14 7pm CST. Registration is required for this free event.

5-stones is a partnering organization with this event. Please contact Debby Suchyta 734 771-1140 for additional details.

Emily Ambrose and Leif Rawson-Ahern of Equal Exchange will provide information on the Fair Trade movement: alternative trade organizations, worker-owned cooperatives, building small farmer supply chains, sustainability, and a farmer-partner group.

Find out how globally-grown chocolate and coffee make their way here and about Equal Exchange’s relationship with local organizations that support Fair Trade and a more just and sustainable Fond du Lac. For those who prefer to attend via Zoom, click here to register.
