All across the country Fair Trade supporters are making a difference, not just by converting their own purchases to Fair Trade but by working with offices, schools, community organizations and retailers to convert theirs as well.  Together, our purchases are transforming the lives of millions of farmers, workers and their families through fair prices, direct trade, access to credit, support for democratic cooperatives, protections for workers and the environment and investments in community development.  Check out the growing list of Fair Trade Towns campaigns, participating retailers and supporting community organizations below.  Then start your campaign to add your town to the list!
