How You Can Support Coffee Workers

Tell President Obama to Take a New Approach Toward Latin America

Our friends at the Latin America Working Group (LAWG) circulated a petition to President 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.    NOTE:  The petition deadline passed on January 21 but it is still available for reviewing on the LAWG website.

Pressure Coffee Retailers to Improve Conditions for Workers

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.

Buy Fair Trade Coffee to Support Small Farmers and Cooperatives

By purchasing Fair Trade coffee you can also support small farmers and cooperatives in Latin America and elsewhere. (Visit our Resources page to find groups involved in Fair Trade Coffee.)
