Fair Trade Coffee Night

Fair Trade Coffee Night part of the Human Rights Awareness Tour www.humanrightstour.org

Allowing students to relax in a campus coffee house after classes end for the day while at the same time learning conscious consumerism is the aim of our Fair Trade Coffee Night. We offer free coffee and chocolate donated solely by farms with strict labor rights policies, which follow the twenty third article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.

(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favorable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.

(4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.

In addition to introducing the notion of drinking coffee that does not support enslavement, the Fair Trade Coffee Night also presents national, local, and student accoustic muscians and poets in an open-mic setting to show their support of Fair Trade Products.

The Human Rights Awareness Tour will be traveling with 3 to 4 accoustic musicians and poets. As such there will be several performance slots available for students the school is stopped at. If you are someone you know is interested in performing at the Fair Trade Coffee Night please contact tour coordinator John Corkery.

To see the list of accoustic acts and poets involved with the Human Rights Tour please go to the "Tour Artists" page at www.humanrightstour.org
