Hello USAS activists!
Check this out!
World Fair Trade Day is coming up this weekend- May 4th- and we are
challenging all of you to try and get at least ONE more local café
to start selling Fair Trade on that day! Are you up for the challenge?
To help build support for Fair Trade among their local communities, Fair
Trade supporters around the world will be going to their local cafes on May
4th to ask them to start selling Fair Trade ("Café Hopping"). Coffee
farmers around the world are facing poverty and starvation and they need our
help now more than ever! Fair Trade offers a solution to these problems by
guaranteeing a minimum price of $1.26 per pound. It also supports
sustainable practices- 80% of Fair Trade is organic and shade grown.
Café Hopping is a positive, FUN, and EASY way to promote Fair Trade! We can
send you ADD the materials and instructions you need via e-mail and a small
group could do this in a few hours by taking on different areas of town.
Ready to help bring Fair Trade to more struggling farmers?! Contact Melissa
Schweisguth for information and materials today!
