Austin Tan Cerca de la Frontera (Austin So Close to the Border), which is celebrating its 10th anniversary of promoting economic justice, sponsors the annual Women and Fair Trade Festival. Eight cooperatives formed by women adversely affected by globalization will come from around the world to tell their stories and sell handmade crafts, toys, pottery, jewelry, clothing, textiles, and ethnic weavings. The festival will also feature live music, poetry, and raffles.
