Gratitude, With Purpose - One Year In

From all of us at Grounds for Impeachment Coffee, thank you for being part of our story.

Thank you for buying coffee - thoughtfully sourced, intentionally roasted - and for reading along, sharing our work, stopping to say hi at events and protests, and choosing to support something that believes good coffee and civic responsibility can - and should - exist together.

We launched Grounds for Impeachment Coffee on January 20 - Inauguration Day. That wasn’t an accident.

What started as a small, values-driven experiment has now been running for nearly a year. In that time, we’ve shipped coffee to all 50 states and watched this grow in ways we couldn’t have fully predicted.

We’ve stood shoulder-to-shoulder at gatherings like No Kings Day ICE & 50501 protests, Indivisible events and Tesla Takedowns. We’ve talked coffee, books, democracy, and the future with strangers who quickly felt like neighbors. And yes - we’ve heard (credibly) that a few G4IC mugs and stickers have made their way onto Congressional desks in Washington, D.C.

We hope this season gives you time to rest, visit with friends and family, and just as importantly, helps you recharge for the work that still lies ahead. Democracy doesn’t sustain itself. Neither does community. Both require care, attention, and people willing to show up.

This project started with a belief that everyday choices matter - including what we drink, who we support, and how we spend our attention. That culture, commerce, and conscience don’t have to live in separate lanes. And that showing up - again and again - is how change actually happens.

Thanks for being part of this first year.

We’re grateful you’ve been showing up with us.

Where the Impact Went: You Chose

One of the things we’re most proud of this year is how giving actually worked. Every bag of coffee did more than caffeinate - it supported causes you chose. At checkout, customers directed contributions across nine partner charities, shaping where collective impact flowed.

Here’s how those contributions broke down across all of the supported organizations this year. This was never about a single big check. It was about many people making small, deliberate decisions that added up.

Showing Up in the Real World

One of the most meaningful parts of this year has been stepping out from behind screens and into shared spaces.

This winter, we were proud to sponsor Chorus Eclectic’s “Gnome for the Holidays” concert series, supporting local, volunteer-driven artists and inclusive community spaces across the Bay Area. Our support showed up not just online, but in printed programs, on venue screens, and in rooms full of people gathered to experience something together.

This kind of partnership matters to us. Culture isn’t decoration. It’s connective tissue. Supporting the arts is part of supporting democracy.

And we’re not stopping there.

This January, we’ll be partnering again with the Bay Area Book Festival for The Merritt Dialogues, a hybrid event exploring one of the most urgent questions of our time: Can We Control What We Create?

The format brings speakers from across the country and internationally into conversation with a live, in-person audience at Oakland’s New Parkway Theater. We’ll be there selling packaged coffee and merch, continuing our small but intentional role in spaces where ideas, accountability, and public dialogue intersect.

If 2025 taught us anything, it’s that these conversations can’t stay online.

What We’re Consuming (Other Than Caffine)

Good coffee pairs well reading, watching & listening to work that grapples with democracy, power, technology, labor, climate, history, and culture. Long-form journalism. Books that demand patience. Conversations that don’t resolve neatly. Here’s our recent favorites:
