Fair trade isn't feel-good fluff – it's about putting dignity back into global commerce. Why we choose relationships over contracts (and why 200-year-old turtle-making beats modern trade models): ethiqana.com/fair-trade-e...

The maths: $100k bombs, $100M planes vs human lives. In #Palestine, families bombed even in tents. #Gaza under attack while billions fund destruction. #CeasefireNow #FreePalestine Time to wake up. Choose bridges not bombs. Your silence or your voice - both are choices 🕊️ 🇵🇸

This 👇🏽

i don't think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. if your salary was 100k w no tax it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire but 10,000 years to reach a billion. it is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much money when others cannot eat.

Gaza's children are being killed while the world scrolls past. This isn't history - it's happening NOW. Every life lost is someone's whole world.

We stand with Palestine. We demand action. We won't stay silent. 🇵🇸

Ramadan teaches us the most profound lessons:

When our stomachs are empty, our hearts understand more 🌙
When we feel less, we give more ✨
When our will is tested, our spirit grows stronger 🤲

Ramadan Kareem to all observing this month of reflection.
