One of the action items from our June meeting involves our partnership with some other local friends (Wandering Wear, Spero, and others) to open a new fair-trade store on LIVE! on the Plaza nights in July and August. LIVE is the second friday of every month at the Plaza District (16th Street between Classen & Penn). We are going to turn the area in front of the Convergence space into a “third world market,” which basically means huge cardboard booths for vendors decorated with a third world market kind of feel.
Come shop where you know EVERY purchase will benefit a local or global cause impacting communities for good. There will be a wide variety of items for sale and just as wide a variety of beneficiaries, so you’ll get to change the world in a lot of ways just by visiting one store! Creative World Justice will have a booth where we will sell Women Are Not Weapons shirts and share with shoppers more about what we are doing.
We need VOLUNTEERS:
- SETUP of the market the afternoon/evening before the store opens
- STREET TEAM to walk around the plaza and spread the word about SHOP GOOD
- people to WORK OUR BOOTH (Creative World Justice…Women Are Not Weapons)
- TEAR DOWN after the store
*** Please reply/comment on this post if you would like to help this Friday, July 10. Or you can email Gary (gary@fusionokc.com) to help or for more info. ***

I probably can’t help with set-up, Gary, but I’d love to work the booth and help clean up afterwards!
