the storm of uncertainty and injustice upending life as we know it?
US TOO.
Like most businesses in the US, Global Goods Partners is trying to find its footing in the wake of uncertainty surrounding tariffs. While economists and policy makers work to calculate the economic costs from the imposition of tariffs, the imposition of pain on the communities in which we work and in which we live is unquantifiable. With domestic job losses, families in our neighborhoods are hurting. And, with the impact of tariffs over time, our mission to secure reliable incomes for women in the Global South (like the makers depicted below) is made all the more difficult.
While the immediate headwinds may be blowing against the values we are committed to upholding, we believe that the world is made safer and stronger by deepening, rather than weaponizing, our interconnectedness. In the short-term, we are maintaining the level of purchase orders we place with our artisan partners and are holding retail and wholesale prices at their current levels.
In the midst of this chaotic environment, we will continue to let our mission guide our path.
