This article discusses several sociopolitical and economic issues. Direct Action Network, Global Exchange, 50 Years Is Enough, the Alliance for Democracy and the Rainforest Action Network took the lead in coordinating efforts by more than 400 organizations ranging from the Progressive Librarians Guild to DC Lesbian Avengers to Anabaptists for Community Transformation. Starbucks stockholders booed Global Exchange's executive Medea Benjamin when she accused the chain of purveying sweatshop coffee and urged the chain to buy Fair Trade coffee beans, for which farmers earn living-wage pay. The book"False Profits: Who Wins, Who Loses, When the IMF, World Bank and WTO Come to Town'' is packed with info, contacts and a glossary.
