Don\'t miss the last days of the Garment Worker Center\'s annual celebration and fair trade sale!
GWC Fair Trade Pop-Up Store
1254 S. Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles CA 90015
* HOURS FOR THE LAST DAYS OF THE SALE *

Thur12/11 10:00AM to 09:00PM (extended opening hours for everyone stuck in traffic)
This year, we\'ve opened a week long fair trade store in LA\'s garment district from Thursday, December 4th through Thursday, December 11th.
All products sold in the store will be from Fair Trade cooperatives and local artisans, guaranteeing fair wages and healthy working environments to the workers who produce them as well as guilt-free gifts for socially conscious consumers. Moreover, all proceeds from the store will go to the Garment Worker Center, a local non-profit organization that has been working with garment workers to fight sweatshop conditions in LA\'s garment industry for the last seven years.
There is no fair trade store in Los Angeles right now - so come to our event and buy your gifts and feel good about your purchases.

Please forward to your friends and family! Help us spread the word!
