Learn about World Fair Trade Day

World Fair Trade Day was May 14th! And although the event has come and gone, now is still a perfect opportunity to spread the word about fair trade. Or, if you're not that familiar with fair trade, this is a good time to learn about it. We've put together a Fair Trade Primer to introduce the concept, and it also contains links to fair trade agencies and partnership organizations if you want to get into more detail.

We support fair trade every year at our Global Holiday Faire. But Fair Trade Day serves as an important reminder for us that we need to keep fair trade in our minds year-round. The theme of this year's World Fair Trade Day was "Fair Trade is Peace." Fair Trade is a worthwhile effort, one which we here at First Christian Church are proud to be a part of.
