How You Can Support Coffee Workers

Our friends at the Latin America Working Group (LAWG) are circulating a petition to President-Elect Barack Obama requesting a new type of policy for Latin American and Caribbean countries. Now is a moment not just to be in opposition, but to create foreign policy that we can believe in.

Urge your coffee company to make a commitment to improving the conditions of coffee workers who continue to toil on plantations. If you visit large chain coffee retailers like Starbucks and Caribou Coffee, you can do this with their comment cards every time you visit. And wherever you go, you can also ask for a Fair Trade cup of coffee at the counter.
