Chicago Fair Trade is a not-for-profit organization working to stimulate both the supply of and demand for fair trade goods in the Chicago metropolitan area. By harnessing the power of consumers locally, Chicago Fair Trade helps tens of thousands of low-income workers, artisans, and farmers around the world make better lives for themselves and their children.
When you purchase fair trade products you are taking a stand for:
- Fair pay that helps families thrive
- The empowerment of women
- Safe working conditions
- Environmentally sustainable development
- Keeping children in school and out of factories
With over fifty locally-owned business members, Chicago Fair Trade’s network is growing. Chicago is the epicenter of fair trade in the U.S. and you can shop some of the Chicago Fair Trade vendor members at the June 24+25, 2017 Randolph Street Market Festival! Find them in the East end (P Lot) of the parking lot along the fence that runs against Randolph Street!
