The Fair Trade Coffee Coalition at the University of Washington, a campus affiliate of United Students for Fair Trade, is thrilled to announce the full conversion of all espresso offerings from Tully's Coffee company to 100% fair trade. Our coalition of student groups began a dialogue with Tully's Coffee almost two years ago, shortly after we initiated our campus campaign for 100% fair trade coffee at the UW. Over this time, we were pleased to see Tully's create a new blend of fair trade drip coffee, as well as a blend of fair trade espresso, which was originally sold only on the UW campus. We cannot say how gratifying it is, as students, to see our countless actions, hours of early morning tabling, and months of lobbying pay off in such a powerful way - to see that our passion has contributed to the broader movement for global economic and social justice. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Tully's Coffee for their continued commitment to these principles, which USFT was founded upon. And we hope that this victory will help to open the eyes and ears of other coffee companies and food service providers to the voices and desires of students around the country. Students, know that your efforts on your campus are not in vain and that you do have power. You will be heard if you keep fighting for what you believe in!
