Starbucks Day of Action: Results
The Starbucks Day of Action was a huge success, and we have you to thank! Thousands of activists, Ethiopian-Americans, and coffee lovers in more than a dozen countries—from New Zealand to Scotland to the US—visited Starbucks stores on Saturday, December 16. Some went on their own. Others brought friends and family. But everyone asked the company to honor its commitments to Ethiopian coffee farmers. In certain cities, activists organized demonstrations outside Starbucks stores to amplify the voices of Ethiopian farmers and reach shoppers during this busy, pre-holiday weekend.
