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.

VOTE for your favorite ONE Tshirt Design before November 15th HERE

Fashionably Responsible in the Fight Against Poverty - Blog Action Day 08

Today marks Blog Action Day 2008 and the focus is on Poverty. Fashion Ethic has joined the conversation and would like to remind you that poverty exists in every country, all around the world and CAN BE prevented and ended.

Today, 25% of all sales at Fashion Ethic will be donated to The Global Fund in honor of all of us coming together to make a difference.

The quest to end poverty this century put forth by the Jubilee campaign and Dr. Jeffrey Sachs was one of the sparks of action that got me started down the path that eventually led to founding Fashion Ethic. I believe in "Fashionably Responsible" living - and a big part of that is knowing for sure that your clothing was made by people being paid a fair, living wage and being treated fairly.

Beyond being a conscious consumer, there are a few other things you can do today to take ACTION in the fight against poverty.
