Holy buckets! Last night we had the biggest event ever-- more than 115 people turned out at USF for their launch of a fair trade coffee campaign... there was incredible energy.

Todd, Andrew, Alfredo, and I were joined by a handful of other movement folks from Thanksgiving Coffee, TransFairUSA, ENGAGE and others. We worked through an engaging activity around the cooperative movement before we dug into solidarity organizing and USF's strategy for campaigning.

Then we had an incredible dinner. All the food was prepared with chef's from a local vegan restaurant and was all vegan, organic, and locally grown.... Phenomenal!

After a stopover at the fair trade after party, we jumped in the car to drive all night (again)....
