From a friend over in the ASE department, in anticipation of our last class:
Shop with a Heart 2008
Fair Trade Fundraiser Dec 4th, Thursday 6pm
The Garment Worker Center is gearing up for our annual fair trade sale. We have a new site to sign up to support our event. Please check it out and share with your friends:
www.garmentworkercenter.org
Our fair trade sale, which will be on December 4th thru December 11th will give you an opportunity to buy fair trade gifts - meaning that the workers who made those items were paid properly and worked in safe environments. Part of the proceeds then help to support local garment workers in their effort to organize and stop sweatshops in LA.
There is no fair trade store in Los Angeles right now - so come to our event and buy your gifts and feel good about your purchases. We will also have our fair trade store open for a week after the reception date to give people more chances to shop.
Please join us for an evening of fair trade shopping and a very special reception honoring exiting Executive Director Kimi Lee and the Bet Tzedek Employment Rights Project.
With Kimi's departure, we enter an exciting new chapter in the future of the Garment Worker Center. We cannot continue our work without community support and we hope that you consider sponsorship to help make our fundraiser a success!
GWC: 1250 So. Los Angeles Street, Suite 213, Los Angeles, CA 90015
