OCTOBER ACTION PROJECT

October is Fair Trade Month. For those of you who do not know what Fair Trade is these are products that have been bought from non-exploited workers (i.e. not made by slaves or in sweatshops). Unfortunately many individuals have no idea that many of the products we buy are made from exploited workers. If we can create a demand for fair trade products, we can send a message to the producers that we will not stand for exploitation of human beings to simply save a few cents.

With that said, this month your goal as a group is to 1. Choose one item you regularly buy this month, find a fair trade alternative, and purchase that alternative this month (i.e. chocolate, clothing, coffee etc.). 2. Let us know what fair trade alternative you found by emailing us at action@thelovealliance.net. We will be posting this list on our new website. 3. If a store you normally shop at does not sell fair trade alternatives it is super important that you request fair trade either directly through a manager or in their comment box. As we start asking where things are made we will start changing the social climate of the society we live in.
