Vote for the Next ONE Campaign T-Shirt

The ONE Campaign against Poverty recently received over 500 submissions when they asked for new T-shirt designs. The judges have chosen the top three and it's time for you to vote for your favorite!


ONE is a grassroots campaign cofounded by DATA founders Bono, Bob Geldof, Bobby Shriver, Jamie Drummond and Lucy Matthew. The campaign is backed by over 2 million people like you and me who have added their voice to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.

The ONE T-shirt is just one of the tools used to raise awareness about the campaign and its issues. To educate yourself on the challenges - and the triumphs - in the fight against poverty and preventable disease, take some time after voting to explore the ONE website.

Best of all, after you vote, you'll receive a coupon for 15% off your next purchase in the ONE Store.

Our New Favorite Bloggers: Bono and Jeffrey Sachs

I would be remiss if I did not direct you to the great Millenium Development Goals Conference blogs over at FT.com (Financial Times of London).

Economist Jeffrey Sachs and our man Bono are blogging about the meetings, the speeches, and all they are experiencing during this very important week-long conference in NYC.

Because the UN Millenium Goals and the two-man team of Sachs and Bono were a very early inspiration to the founding of Fashion Ethic, I feel it is quite important to mention their ongoing commitment to the goals and the conference. The blogs at FT.com are fantastic quick hits on where world leaders stand as well as reminders of the 8 MDGs:

1. End Poverty and Hunger
2. Universal Education
3. Gender Equality
4. Child Health
5. Maternal Health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS
7. Environmental Sustainability
8. Global Partnership

What can you do to help support the MDGs? Follow the conference, get to know who is involved and what they are promising (the FT.com blogs are easy ways to follow along and include fun info about Carla Bruni too :) ), and check out the following sources:

Get to Know EDUN co-founder Ali Hewson

EDUN is one of our favorite lines here at Fashion Ethic. From the gorgeous cuts to the unique details and high quality construction, the line is perfection. And when you know that the company has been founded on the idea of Respect - for customers, for the people making the clothing, and for the community - then you know you have found something really special.

The Ottowa Citizen recently ran a profile of Ali Hewson, who co-founded EDUN with CFDA-winner Rogan Gregory and her husband, U2's Bono. And we wanted to share it with you. What Ali has put together with EDUN and her preceding charitable work is an example for anyone who wants to do something that makes a difference...and a definite inspiration to us here. (OK, and there are some great comments about her first impressions of Bono.) Read the entire article HERE and shop EDUN at Fashion Ethic HERE.
