Proudly Serving Zemi Coffee

Your daytime cafe is brought to you by ZemiCoffee!  Zemi Coffee buys direct from a farm in Puerto Rico, and we bring it to you at The People’s Cafe.

Building community in a time when democracy is threatened IS resistance, and The People’s Cafe community is committed to:

• Combating isolation and fear—you are not alone!

• Building trust and resilience—connect based on shared values and experiences.

• Facilitating collective action and resistance—organize and mobilize!

• Protecting vulnerable communities—everyone belongs!

• Fostering hope and joy—let’s create…and dance!

Alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much
— Helen Keller

We offer opportunities to engage in local issues and participate in civic life. Through informal learning and exchanging ideas in workshops, meeting spaces, community dinners, discussions, and art events our communities can learn from and celebrate each other—that’s what democracy looks like!

Join Us!

We all need to be faithful servants of democracy and stewards of justice and peacemaking. The future of our communities depends on the actions we take today, so please join us in building this community by supporting The People’s Cafe.
