Stop Traffick Fashion will launch our new Freeset t-shirts tonight! Come to our party and benefit concert in Cincinnati, or watch the website this weekend for shirts.
But first, a little more about Freeset…
At its core Freeset is a business. It exists to make and sell products for profit. But it’s a business about loving people and working toward freedom.
The money the bags and t-shirts generate goes to fair wages, health insurance, and pension funds. The bottom line is the more bags and shirts Freeset sells the more women it can employ. Your purchase really does have an effect on the lives of women and their families on the other side of the world.
One great way to have an impact—beyond the bags and shirts in the STF store—is to order custom bags or shirts for your business or organization. You supply them with the design; they screen print it on a handmade, fair trade bag or shirt. Then you and everyone in your organization has a chance to be part of the story and to share the story with people they meet. Email us at hello@stoptraffickfashion.com if you’re interested.
There are stories of freedom and hope happening around the world—be a part of someone’s story today.
Check out some pictures from my trip. (Freeset’s policy is that visitors can’t photograph the women because their image has been exploited their whole live. There are some photos of the women on their website and in their new promo video.)
