We hope that everyone is off to a great start this semester. In October we're celebrating Fair Trade Month with our most ambitious and exciting fair trade tour to date. All across the country, USFT affiliates will have the opportunity to host and attend grassroots events in their regions.

Since there will be no Convergence this school year, this is one big chance to build relationships with producers, learn new skills, and network with other fair trade activists in your area.

Find your regional coordnator and contact them for more information about how you can get involved with Fair Trade producer interaction, skill building workshops, community builders and how to host an event of your own with the support of USFT. Then check back October 1st on our new website to find out about upcoming events in your region and throughout the country!
