Skip Black Friday and try a sweatshop-free shopping spree instead with the annual Fair Trade/Union Made Holiday Sale in Minneapolis.
A benefit for the nonprofit Minnesota Fair Trade Coalition, the sale will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 8 at the CWA Local 7200 Hall, 3521 E. Lake St.
Vendors include Ten Thousand Villages, Divas Fair Trade, progressive artist Ricardo Levins Morales, Regla De Oro Gallery and the Minnesota-based clothing store Union House.
The Minnesota Fair Trade Coalition unites more than 70 faith, labor, environmental, family farm, consumer and human rights groups to advocate for trade policy that promotes social and environmental justice.
