Fairtrade Fortnight Campaigns Special


Forward to a friend







Fairtrade Fortnight 2011 campaigns special







The Fairtrade Fortnight countdown has begun!
It's only three weeks until the nation goes wild getting loud and proud about the Fairtrade label for two weeks. Are you prepared? There's still time to order posters, stickers, t-shirts, postcards and more - so from showing off the label in your front room window to organising a fashion show, we have the wherewithal to help. Order yours here.




The Great Cotton Stitch-Up
Our campaign for trade justice for West African cotton farmers is picking up momentum. Have you taken action yet? There are a host of things you can do to help from emailing government minister Caroline Spelman to visiting your local MEPs. Read more, get involved and download our MEP guide here. We are also at the World Social Forum in Senegal this week, where The Great Cotton Stitch-Up will be discussed at an event with African campaign groups. Keep an eye on the website for updates.




Bunting for justice
You can also get creative by joining in with our attempt to create the world's longest string of bunting to demonstrate support for Fairtrade and our demand for trade justice for cotton farmers. Order Fairtrade cotton bunting flags and sew, paint, draw and stick your messages to them, then show them off. Read more and order your bunting here

'I am happy that my children will get a better education and my hope is that they will go to university. This wouldn't have been possible before Fairtrade.' Moussa Keita, Fairtrade cotton farmer, Mali
