Fair Trade the White House is a coalition of fair trade vendors and organizations that  are inviting the First Lady to join the fair trade movement and make the White House a “Fair Trade Home.”

As a member of Green America and a big supporter of Fair Trade, Jute and Jackfruit wouldn’t miss this terrific opportunity to be part of the “Fair Trade the White House” campaign (Yes, we did!) to help make the White House more fair and ethical in its purchases. You can join in too: just click on their website and send a very quick personalized letter to Michelle Obama.

Fair Trade the White House also recently highlighted Jute and Jackfruit in their blog (thank you, Fair trade the White House!) Check it out their post!

Many other large, medium and small companies and non-profits are coming out to support this terrific initiative. You can also help the movement along by writing a letter to Michelle Obama about your support for this cause (more information below).

Everybody can participate in this great campaign.

Why Fair Trade the White House? Jute and Jackfruit and many wonderful fair-trade committed companies and non-profits are inviting the First Lady, Michelle Obama, to declare the White House a “Fair Trade Home” because we recognize that the White House is a model home for all Americans, and that if the White House can be fair and ethical in its purchases, then its a good reason for others to follow.

Join in this important initiative by inviting the First Lady to declare the White House a “Fair Trade Home” and help promote the movement. Simply click on the website and sign your letter too! It only takes 10 seconds!
