Info on Mitote:
Mitote is primarily an Austin-based group of Chicano musicians interested in the genres of Mexican son. Their predominant style of music is son jarocho, particularly the styles of southern Veracruz, also known as el movimiento jaranero. They have a parallel interest in the grassroots connections between the arts and the local Chicano communities and are committed to bringing people together through the arts to talk about the conditions of the community.
Info on Women and Fair Trade:
This sale is about much more than purchasing quality products. It is about:
* Supporting women’s cooperatives that serve as a living alternative to dominant forms of production and distribution that exploit rather than support the creators of the goods we purchase.
* Influencing consumer’s purchasing habits which will favor small producers instead of adding to corporate profits.
* Shortening the gap between producer and consumer.
Fair trade acknowledges the human beings that make our products. It means that small producers receive fair prices for their products, helping them build a better future for themselves and their communities. This helps to reverse current trends that reward the middle man or woman more than the producers themselves.
