Thanks for being part of this movement and standing up to Trump and his MAGA Cult. At the moment, most Congressional Democrats may not be up for the fight, but we sure as hell are. We will continue fighting until Trump and Trumpism are purged from our politics.

"Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; Nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first."

– Charles de Gaulle (French general, leader of the French Resistance in WWII, architect of the Fifth Republic, and French president)

Stay brave. Stay loud. Stay Caffeinated. – The G4IC Team

Earlier this month, we brewed up dissent at the 11th Annual Bay Area Book Festival in downtown Berkeley, CA, serving authors, activists, and book lovers their daily dose of anti-authoritarian caffeine.

We were also featured at the University of Pennsylvania lecture, “Brewing a Revolution: Coffee in Eighteenth-Century Philadelphia” in conjunction with the exhibit Revolution at Penn. Attendees learned about the significance of Philadelphia’s coffeehouses as major sites of political activity and debate in the decade leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Our Founders would’ve loved sipping our Resistance Blend in the coffeehouses of Philadelphia!

Thanks to you, we’ve continued putting our money where our mug is. Every bag you buy funds the fight for democracy, civil rights, and reproductive justice. We’ll be sharing these details each quarter, and in that spirt, here’s the headline for Q1 2025:

New Charity Partner: Common Man for Ukraine

We’re proud to support Common Man for Ukraine, a humanitarian relief group delivering aid to those on the front lines of freedom. Starting in April, a portion of our sales has been going to their efforts - and from time to time you’ll see a small 🇺🇦 Ukrainian flag in solidarity. Ukraine’s battle for freedom is the world’s, too. If the rule of law is to triumph over tyranny and darkness, President Zelenskyy and his people need unwavering global support. Resistance doesn’t stop at the border.
