Inside a Fair Trade General Assembly
Today we are sharing something a little different.
A behind the scenes look at how Fair Trade Certified™ standards come to life, led by workers themselves.
At Vertical Knits in Yucatán, Mexico, more than 1,000 workers paused production to gather for their annual Fair Trade general assembly. They asked questions. They voted. They decided how their Community Development Fund would be used.
One of the projects they approved? A mobile health clinic bringing free, preventative medical care to 52 communities.
This is what worker-led empowerment looks like.
Workers as changemakers.
Communities shaped by the people who know them best.
Choose Fair Trade Certified™.
