Pat Plant is available as a speaker at conferences where people gather to learn new skills.

As an experienced, accomplished speaker, Pat can motivate, educate, and excite the audience and leave them with an action plan for their own lives and that of their organization or congregation.

Speaking topics include:


An exciting presentation that spells out how the world can be a better place AND gives the tools, techniques, and motivation to do the work — THROUGH YOUR OWN ACTIONS.

Pat helps women understand their place and responsibility as shoppers in the huge fashion industry which oppresses the (mostly) women who toil at low-paid, sometimes unsafe, and largely unregulated sweatshops both in North America and off shore. Useful, practical actions and alternatives to the retail fashion giants will be discussed (buying and advocating for sweat-free and union-made clothing, Thrift Shop savvy, clothing cooperatives, hiring local seamstresses, sewing your own clothing). The audience leaves ready to act in ways that will help make the fashion industry just and safe for the women who produce their clothing.
