#NOSTARBUCKS
Vow never to walk into a Starbucks ever again. Instead, search out the most interesting indie coffee shop around where you live and work … get to know the people who own and run the place and get your friends and co-workers to join you there. Individually this may feel like a drop in the bucket, but if all of us do it collectively, then we can begin to shift power from megacorporations to our friends and neighbors.
Tweet #NOSTARBUCKS, Facebook it, email it, whisper it to a friend or shout it from the rooftops. Spread the word and let’s start brewing the mood for a worldwide revolution.

These comments are strange... "Why boycott Starbucks?" ..How 'bout the very simple reason that they are a big corporation? They have plenty of money, and they don't need any more. The indie coffee shop down the street needs money to survive... If you people want to go everywhere in the world and be in THE SAME PLACE, then I don't understand you... I want diversity, so I always buy indie.

havent heard anything of adbusters since i stopped reading it May/Jun 2002 No.41 (although i did steal a few more issues after that.) and i no longer needed a guide on how to be a "culture jammer".
and thats the reason they are running a "boycott starbucks" campaign. new, young, and confused future culture jammers need a place to start. something simple, something easy and something legitimately plausible.in the beginning something like this is a great direction to point your anger, and help you feel like your finally doing something, albeit small.
these days i prefer more positive language like "support your local coffee shop" but its all the same. i dont even go in those, id rather sneak into an AA meeting and drink coffee for free and listen to some good conversation!
to all the newbees, good luck, this is a nice easy boycott to start with.
maybe one day well meet and ill hand you a wet towel to protect your face from teargas, but for now just stop drinking starbucks.
sincerely,
