WHO IS FAIR TRADE OAKLAND? We represent an all-volunteer grassroots organization of local activists, community organizations and socially responsible businesses united in raising the profile of the Fair Trade movement and promoting Fair Trade products within the city of Oakland.
WHAT IS A FAIR TRADE TOWN? Fair Trade Oakland is a member of Fair Trade Towns USA, a national network of towns, cities, and other municipalities demonstrating their commitment to the principles of Fair Trade.
As a Fair Trade Town, our mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, that foster mutually beneficial relationships between producers and consumers, and that demonstrate the contribution of Fair Trade to a more sustainable world through international commerce.
