If you remember our last chapel, we had Stephanie Page come in to tell us about labor trafficking and the Stories Foundation. Here are some of the links she mentioned, as well as some other news stories listed below:

LABOR TRAFFICKING 101

The Polaris Project is an excellent resource for defining labor trafficking and examples of how it shows up in our world today.

FAIR TRADE LABELS

There are many fair trade labels as well as a lot of discussion as to what a label means and the process a product has to go through to become fair trade. Fair Trade Campaigns is a great place to begin in learning more about fair trade labels and how to navigate them.
