Minnesota Fair Trade Coalition Information

The Minnesota Fair Trade Coalition is a coalition of over 40 labor, family farm, interfaith, environmental and social justice organizations across the state of Minnesota. We engage with the Minnesota community, elected officials and media in order to advocate the benefits of fair trade and explain why the current system of unregulated trade fueled by agreements such as WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA has a majority of the world's people in favor of the interests of multinational corporations. We believe that international trade should reflect the interests and values of the majority of the world's people rather than a few corporations. MNFTC promotes the benefits of a fair trade system which, through the trading of goods and services can achieve economic justice, support human and worker rights, promote healthy communities and protect the environment.
