Guest 1. Jess Perez, since 13-year old Andy Lopez was killed by a Sonoma County Sheriff deputy, has been active with the Justice for Andy Coalition. One key demand was the purchase of the empty lot where Andy was killed and naming it in his honor. Jess Perez updates us on the progress after the County’s purchase of the lot for a park on getting a commemoration for Andy Lopez.

Music Break: In aid of Fairtrade – The Official Music Video of We Are The World (The Fairtrade Song) – sung by Chelsea Claydon & Robert Jerome on YouTube
Guest 3. Julie Kawahara discusses how she made her choices for Fair Trade and eventually became the new owner of Kindred Fair Trade Handcrafts. She talks about the certication process in assuring the artisans are compensated fairly for their work. The movement has spread to foods, and chocolate is the main concern because of widespread us of child slavery in its production. Look for the labels indicating Fair Trade!
