The ability to work at or go to a cafe freely is apparently not granted to Pālestin1ans.
Where is the outrage from the specialty coffee industry?
And where is the coffee media at??

Specialty coffee has been built on colonial systems of exploitation. No wonder so many coffee people are rāc1sts or apologists: black and brown farmers, just like the coffee we need, have been commodified, and their struggles have been normalized. 1/4

Pālēst1nian journalist Bayan Abusultan survived an Israhelli airstrike while working in a cafe in Gāzā today.
Think about that the next time you work from a coffee shop.
The fact that some specialty coffee people still defend and collab with Z1øs is wild.

PSA to all the carbon neutral coffee companies:
Carbon neutrality is a scam invented by and for global North businesses so they can have a clean conscience, a marketing scheme to sell more [coffee].

"Carbon Neutral" Coffee: Climate Accountability or Marketing Spin?
The coffee industry creates emissions and carbon offsets won't save us.

I wrote about the Coffee People for Palestine fundraiser, and whether it will be enough to jolt the industry out of its moral slumber.

A Fundraiser for Gaza Hopes to Wake Up the Coffee Industry
For 18 months, the coffee industry has remained mostly silent about the ongoing destruction of Gaza. A new fundraiser hopes to raise money—and jolt the industry awake.

So much mischief,
but I’ll be brief:
I dream of the day,
not so far away,
When Palestine will be free.
And I’ll go, just to drink a coffee.
Under the shade of an olive tree.

I want to use this opportunity to praise Palestinian men.
They are kind courageous, dedicated, resilient, smart, funny, beautiful. And they’ve showed me how to be fiercely loving.

I just saw children and women being catapulted 100M in the air after a bomb hit them, all while we debate when coffee will be cheaper, if it should be cheaper or if tariffs will make our profits less big.
Ok.

Remember when all #specialtycoffee people came together to help Ukraine? Where are all these people now?
*No babies were beheaded*
Israel: Hamas has beheaded babies [no proof]
Western media: *media frenzy for months*
*Babies are beheaded* [plural]
Palestinians: Here’s a video of Israel beheading our babies
Western media: *silence*
This is mainstream-media backed genocide
