The pressure from our Frankenbuck$ campaign and from Starbucks' customers reading our leaflets and talking to our volunteers is obviously making an impact. One need only compare Starbucks' official company statements dated March 18 and then compare these statements to the one dated June 21 (http://www.starbucks.com) to see what a difference three months of determined campaigning has made. Three months from now we expect to see the company move even farther. ****TAKE ACTION AND JOIN ONE OF OUR LEAFLETING TEAMS DURING THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2001 **** HELP PRESSURE STARBUCKS TO REMOVE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED INGREDIENTS FROM THEIR FOOD AND DAIRY PRODUCTS ON A WORLDWIDE BASIS, IMPROVE WORKING CONDITIONS FOR COFFEE PLANTATION WORKERS, AND BREW AND SERIOUSLY PROMOTE FAIR TRADE COFFEE IN ALL OF THEIR CAFES. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO MAKE THESE DAYS OF ACTION SUCCESSFUL. Visit several locations and HELP US LEAFLET 1000 STORES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. If you are willing to participate please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 218-226-4164. Please tell our staff the date, time and location of the Starbucks outlets you will be leafleting, and we will be happy to send you an organizing packet. You can also read about the latest campaign developments on the special Starbucks section on our website, which is updated daily. http://www.organicconsumers.org/Starbucks/starbucks.html <http://www.purefood.org/Starbucks/starbucks.html>
