The Get Mad Crusade

A six month educational conversation we hosted on the injustice surrounding our world, one topic a month. Our goal was, and still is, to cultivate curiosity and understanding by exploring difficult, nuanced issues alongside experts in each field. Walk with us as we learn empathy, pursue justice, and play a small part in building a better, more curious world.

We've compiled an extensive library of resources for you to explore.

A Film About Coffee
"A Film About Coffee" is a love letter to, and meditation on, specialty coffee. It examines what it takes, and what it means, for coffee to be defined as "specialty." The film whisks audiences on a trip around the world, from farms in Honduras and Rwanda to coffee shops in Tokyo, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and New York….This is a film that bridges gaps both intellectual and geographical, evoking flavor and pleasure, and providing both as well.”

A Sustainable Coffee Buyer’s Guide
The idea presented by the guide is to use income targets to drive the prices we pay as an industry in a more systematic way, which can be translated from growers all the way through to consumers. At the root of it is a shared desire to end the systematic impoverishment of small coffee farmers through an improved knowledge of their various circumstances.
