Choose Fairtrade

Choose the world you want

Every trip to the grocery store or online shop is an opportunity to choose the world you want. We want a world where farmers get paid a fair price for their goods, women thrive and the environment is prioritized. Over the last three years, we have partnered with local artists in nine US cities to spread the word and remind each passerby that we all have an incredible opportunity to create the world we want.

Choose Fairtrade. Choose the world you want.

Why public art?

Art has sparked conversations on social justice issues and hope for change for generations. That’s why we decided to create the Choose Fairtrade mural campaign – to celebrate the often unseen people who grow products we use everyday like coffee, cocoa and bananas and bring to light the challenges that they face because of unfair trade. By choosing Fairtrade, you are choosing a world where farmers and workers get a fair deal, women thrive and the environment is prioritized.

About Fairtrade America

We are the US branch of Fairtrade International – a network of nearly 2 million farmers and workers, 2,400+ businesses and countless shoppers worldwide. We work to create a world where all farmers and workers can enjoy secure and sustainable livelihoods so that they can thrive and have the freedom to decide on their own futures.

We do this by supporting and challenging US businesses to prioritize the people and places that are behind the products we use every day. By improving the terms of trade – a notorious driver of inequality – we put money back in the hands of farmers and workers, which they choose how to spend.

Thank you to our partners!

Fairtrade is only possible because it’s a collaboration of people, businesses, farmers, and more – all working together to see a more just and equitable society. The collective effort of everyone to make this campaign a reality reflects this and so much more. Thank you.
