Despite Cold Starbucks Still Feels Resistance on BND 2007

Despite the wickedly cold weather (below freezing, windy, and snowy), one lone protester still came to the Kick Starbucks Out event at the Smoky Hill Starbucks. For three hours in the cold, I stood on the sidewalk outside the Starbucks with a simple sign saying shame that pointed towards the Starbucks. I told people how Starbucks coffee and chocolate was sourced from farms that used slave labour and even cited evidence but the majority of them decided to mindlessly continuing buying their Starbucks. Those who were particularly arrogant got a big "Thank you for supporting slavery" yelled to them from almost 20 feet away, the closest public property. Still, it made an impact and slowed traffic. Most importantly, it gave Starbucks the message that they will not sell goods produced using slave labour in our community without facing resistance. Perhaps I'll go back some day when it's a little warmer.
fyi: Just to clear up any confusion, the picture above is not from the protest today.
