Whoops - we've been gone a while!

But weeeeee're back! Back on the airwaves and clogging up your dash with our abolitionist nonsense. Ha!

So the big new is of course - only 4 months til Slave Free September 2014! I hope you've been keeping your beadies open for safe cafes to frequent and products to buy during September. If you decide to give one a try (now or during September - as you please!) do snap a pic and let us know what you think. You might just find your review here on the site! (Naturally, full credit will go to your good self. Credit where credit is due after all.)

Well that's enough verbiage for the minute. We'll be popping in and out over the next few months with motivation and other cool things to get you prepared and keen as [certified Fair Trade] coffee beans for September.

Bonjour! How is your Slave Free September going so far? 

Have you made any interesting new fair trade purchases yet? If you do, be sure to tell us about it! 

I for one have just made a purchase of Fair Trade Coffee grounds. The photo above is of another (Mocha) variety by the same brand, though I just opted for standard coffee. I find "flavoured" coffee options a bit much first thing in the morning! But it was quite delicious, and at 598JPY a package (by and large you'd get the same for at least $7 or $8 back in Aus) I will most certainly be trying this again. 

And what's more, I found it in a supermarket, which if you're at all acquainted with the Fair Trade scene in Japan you'll know what a big deal that is. Especially out here in Mizusawa. Score!

(To sing the praises of another Fair Trade/Slave Free purchase, flick us an email at [email protected])

Do you hear the people sing/Singing the songs of angry men?

It is the music of a people who want slavery to end...

Get ready, little abolitionists.

At dawn...we ride!

Meet our Australia Consultant

Well, ladies and germs, since we last spoke, we've recruited!

Sandi Scott, streuseltaler-baker and all round good egg has joined on as our Consultant for Australia. So expect to see her popping in from time-to-time, alerting our Aussie pals to new/old and exciting Slave Free products available in the Great South Land.

Make her feel welcome, yes?

- Marley

PS - If you're interested in joining the SFS Team, we could always use a spare pair of hands and there are opportunities available, most of which are just about as flexible as you could want. (Please bear in mind, all positions are volunteer.) Contact us at [email protected] if you're interested.

SFS 2013

We're back on virtual-space, and there's nearly two months til SFS 2013. It's going to be great! Prepare yourselves for one glorious month of Slave Free Living. It may not seem like much, but it could change your whole outlook if you let it.

One more piece of news: we're branching out! Japan - tighten your obi's and prepare for the SFS Cyclone! No? The SFS Tropical Storm?...The SFS Downpour?...The SFS Sunshower? Either way, we will be in Japan, sourcing out all the slave-free goodies the country has to offer. Don't worry, Aussie SFSers, (no?) we'll keep you plenty updated finding little bits of wonderful in the Great Southern Land.

As for you other folks, like you 'Murican Freedom-nuts or Folk from the Ancestral Homelands (i.e. - the UK and Ireland) or anywhere else in the world you happen to be...we've got little to no clue about where to buy or what to buy, so you might have to do your own research...then share it with us, here or on the facebook page. Keep us in the loop!

Speak to you soon, little Abolitionists.

Wow!

There you all are. Following us. Letting Slave Free September posts pop up on your dash. If we're not careful, this could turn into a raging snowball of abolition...hang on, that is what we want, yes?

To thank you all for your support, here is the teaser video for the Campaign of the Wilberforce Oak. 

Stay Excellent, little abolitionists.
