Sweat Free Dallas Campaign Community Planning Session
The Texas Fair Trade Coalition invites concerned people and organizations from
across Dallas to join together and begin a campaign to get the city of Dallas
to pass an anti-sweatshop ordinance. This ordinance would require the city to
make sure that the uniforms and other garments that the city buys are not being
made in sweatshops. At Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff, 3839 W. Kiest
Blvd., Dallas. For more information, email sweatfreedallas@gmail.com.
Friday, June 27, 6:30 p.m.
Pastors for Peace Cuba Caravan Reception
Nearly 40 Caravanistas from Pastors for Peace, carrying tons of humanitarian

the Caravanistas. Come help welcome these travelers and, if you can, bring items
to donate to the Caravan: Medicines, vitamins, and antiseptics (with expiration
dates no earlier than February 2009) are welcomed. Walking canes, reading glasses,
wheel chairs and school supplies are also encouraged.
