As promoters of Fair Trade, we here at One World Market whole-heartedly agree with the late (great) Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our staff and loyal volunteers work everyday to create a space where artisans in developing countries can sell their wares for a fair price. We believe their labor deserves dignity. It deserves respect.
That’s why all the items at our non-profit retail store are Fair Trade. Fair Trade seeks to create social justice. We want to live in a world where everyone, no matter their ethnicity, religion, or social class can earn a fair wage. It’s a simple idea really, and here in Durham, NC, it can be easy to work towards.
By purchasing items at One World Market, by making a commitment to buy Fair Trade items, you are standing up for justice. You are fighting the injustices that happen every day, in the tiniest corners of our world. You are defending those who are unable to defend themselves.By purchasing items at One World Market, you are standing up for labor that uplifts humanity. You are declaring with your purchase that everyone, around the world, deserves a job with dignity. A job that garners respect.
One World Market is closed today in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr, a true warrior for his cause.
And we hope that you will join us in our mission to support Fair Trade. Make Fair Trade an issue in your life worth supporting, become a Fair Trade Warrior in your community!
