Description
Chicago Fair Trade and conscious consumers throughout the West Suburban area will come together at the Little Traveler shop in downtown Geneva for the first ever Fair Trade Western Suburban meetup, on September 14th from 10:30am-12:00pm. Attendees will hear first-hand stories from fair trader business owners, enjoy a continental breakfast for only $5. Gain exposure to amazing alternative fair trade brands and designers, and learn more about the importance of fair trade.
There will be ample opportunity for mingling among business owners, individual members, members of faith based groups, and attendees from colleges and universities. We encourage anyone with an interest in advocating for fair trade and increasing their knowledge of the movement to join us for this event.
The event is hosted by Chicago Fair Trade, a coalition made up of area businesses, congregations, schools, and activists to promote fair wages and ethical trade policies in Chicago and beyond. They are proud to have been the driving force behind Chicago being named a Fair Trade City in 2009 and a Sweatshop-Free City in 2014.
