I want to emphasize that participation in this campaign is not limited to college students (or campuses with Jazzmans). Anybody and everybody should participate!

Students have been organizing for years to win acceptable ethics in the food systems at their schools. It's great to see that they are coming together to "encourage" Jazzman's a bit. I'm with this campaign until the end! Tillie Banales I believe fully in this campaign. Students have been organizing for years to win acceptable ethics in the food systems at their schools.

Jazzman's has a chance to be a corporate leader on ethics by going Fair Trade with tea, cocoa, and sugar. If you put together the social and environmental problems in each of those industries, and the amount of good that Fair Trade does in addressing these issues, you have real progress. Jazzman's is in a great position to take advantage of an opportunity. If they don't, students and student-allies are sure to get tougher.

They should use a roaster that shares their *supposed* commitment to being socially conscious. STBX leaves much to be desired, even if it's Seattle's Best that's providing a little cover. But, whether Jazzman's changes roaster, or stays with Seattle's Best, the bottom line is that they need to go Fair Trade. And, not 5% like STBX. I think what's special about this campaign is that it is straight up demand for 100% Fair Trade. Jazzman’s is wasting their progressive credential by contracting with STBX.

It sounds to me like Jazzman's needs to walk their talk. If they're running around saying they're progressive, then they need to make the right decision and go Fair Trade. I'm happy to see that this campaign is happening, and I hope it becomes huge! My school used to have a Jazzman’s and they got kicked off when student activists waged a campaign against Sodexho.
