Hello from sunny Tempe, Arizona! 

My name is Kim Pearson and I am this year's Southwest Coordinator.  I'm a junior sustainability and spanish major at Arizona State University in Tempe, part of greater Phoenix. 

I hope to support you by connecting you to other students, businesses, religious groups, and fair trade activists as well as being an educational and organizational resource.

Please feel free to email me about anything; fair trade events, fair trade businesses, questions about how to get fair trade on your campus, how to affiliate with USFT, arguments for opponents, or just to talk about what you had for breakfast. I will gladly post events, successes, and anything Fair Trade on our website. I am here to help you in whatever way you need, to connect you to people overcoming similar obstacles, and to share your stories to inspire people everywhere.

This is an incredible movement and you have the power to continue pushing it forward. A conversation is an action. Let's talk. 

 
Thank you and may your day be beautiful,

Kim Pearson                                                                                                                southwestcoordinator@usft.org

Discuss, organize, and ask questions in the Southwest forum!
