Coffee Day, Bristol: Saturday 8th September

A day of fun and action to highlight the environmental and human price of multinational coffee corporations...



Latte Poverty
Coffee prices have hit rock bottom, yet we’re paying more that ever for our morning fix of cappuccino. Financial speculators, World

Bank cash-crop demands and bulk purchasing power of multinationals have conspired to drop the coffee price and have resulted in impoverished

millions while market domination of global coffee brands conspire to keep prices in the west high.

Fair Trade Frappe
Much of the coffee beans we consume are produced in appalling conditions of low pay, zero rights and child slavery by companies with no

morals whatsoever. Fair Trade shows us that we can combine our caffeine fix with human rights, but most multinationals aren’t

interested.

The Day
The plan is to host loads of simultaneous actions across the city focusing on the many aspects of today’s multi-billion dollar coffee

industry. Events confirmed so far are:

-Information stall at the Organic & Real Food Festival at the Watershed by World Development Movement
-Free fair-trade coffee and Jazz music next to the Nestle café, @Bristol by Bristol Nestle Resistance
-Blockade of Starbucks Coffee Shop, Park Street, Clifton 1pm by Globalise Resistance (FFI: Mike Taylor 0771 4757 984 / Email:
