SouthwestThe southwest region of the United States has a great deal of potential in terms of developing student participation in Fair Trade and Trade Justice campaigns in general. Many schools in the southwest have students and constituents that are directly impacted by the Neo-liberal conventional market that is unrelenting and completely absent of any awareness of social justice in itself. Students in the southwest can make a tremendous impact upon Fair Trade by simply communicating within the region, and identify shared patterns of difficulty and success which will lead to more and more successful campaigns resulting in more Fair Trade products aswell as new relationships that are mediated by the idea of Trade Justice for all at home and abroad. All we have to do is talk to each other, so please use the forum, use the list, use facebook, use email, use anything that will get us to stay in communication and really build the young child that is the southwest region. Thank you to everyone, and welcome to USFT Southwest!!-Esteban Tovar, Southwest Region Coordinator Discuss, organize, and ask questions in the Southwest forum!Events in the Southwest Region
