Strategy Session Notes October 20, 2008
Help us achieve our goals:
Bring fair trade items to your workplace, school, hair salon, lawyer's office, or congregation, and help us become a Fair Trade City. A fair trade institution uses fair trade items such as coffee, tea, sugar, chocolate, or fair trade gifts and informs the community about their commitment. We are working toward the goal of 300 fair trade institutions in Chicago, with at least one in each of Chicago's community areas. Contact ericalee@uchicago.edu for assistance or to let us know the name of the institution to add to our list.
