    Welcome all to the Washington DC network for supporters of fair trade:
     "A trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers - especially in the South. Fair Trade organisations (backed by consumers) are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade."
    (FINE: Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International, International Fair Trade Association, Network of European Worldshops and European Fair Trade Association).
    This Coalition has been established to link the efforts of Persons, Businesses and Organizations supporting fair trade in Washington DC to strengthen the solidarity for fair trade in Washington DC as a local community with an international reach.



    ..What this Coalition can do..:

  • Establish a DC network for fair trade
  • Support fair trade business in DC
  • Promote a fair trade education


    • There are many levels of commitment and/or concern for this issue and I encourage ALL to join us.

      Hi,

      My site is one of a growing number committed
      to the 100, 000 Cups Campaign - a network of
      Myspace sites that have joined forces to
      encourage Myspace users to generate nearly
      one million ounces of rice or other staple
      food with no more than a click of a mouse.

      Each mouse click generates a donation of
      over eight ounces of food to combat the current
      famine in East Africa where there has been no rain
      in almost 3 years. Crops have failed. Wells and
      rivers are dry. People are dying.

      Please, add this site.

      If you should notice our bulletin, please
      repost it for us. Every repost helps.

      Thank you.

      Hiya

      Welcome to my helpful group of friends and thank you for wanting to make a difference. Please have a look at my top friends especially my number one friend if you want to make the biggest difference.

      All the non-profit organizations that exist I am greatly concerned about and want to help as much and fully as I can! As I said on my profile, after reading a non-profit organization called World Wide Enlightenment, I truly believe if everyone were aware of the knowledge throughout this organizations website then every single non-profit organization in the world would naturally resolve itself and will no longer be a problem anywhere throughout the world. http://www.myspace.com/worldwidenlightenment

      P.S. If you get the time, tell em I sent ya

      Peace be with you

      I think Sherrod Brown, together with Jim Webb, are going to be the backbone of the re-emergence of the labor movement. I love these guys.
