About Us
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.
