963 Coffee Saves Little Iraqi Lives!

Our friends over at 963 Coffee facilitate the fair trade of coffee so that you get your daily Joe and the farmers get their fair share of that $5 cup of caffeine. Instead of beans on the dollar, they get a fair working wage, good working conditions, the right to organize themselves into unions, and a host of other benefits not afforded by other coffee companies.

In addition to what is already a great product, 963 Coffee has set up an affiliate program through which all of your purchases made by linking from PLC will go into an account with the Preemptive Love Coalition name on it. So on top of everything else, buying coffee will now fund heart surgeries for Iraqi kids, too!

We get 40% of sales from the store through this affiliate program. If you buy 10 bags of coffee for your office at $10/each, children in Iraq will receive $40 of your purchase. If you are an addict, we recommend the Monthly Obsession (like a subscription to coffee!). It only takes 63 friends at 2 bags of coffee per month, that would be $6,000 to children in Iraq in one year alone! That’s an entire heart surgery funded strictly by drinking coffee!

So forgo your POPULAR COFFEE CHAIN and drink some 963 Coffee instead. 

NOTE: The coffee in question here sells in 12 oz. packages.

    On the coffee order details, it says “weight 1.00″ I assumed this meant “1.00 pound.” I realize from what I received in my order that this meant one 12 ounce bag. For the sake of customer satisfaction in international trade, you may want to clarify this in your advertising. I do support you in your endeavors.

    Thanks, Paul, for the heads up on the misunderstanding and the labeling problem with the coffee. We’ve edited the post above and other literature to reflect your valid concern. I’m happy to reimburse you if you’re dissatisfied with the amount or quality of the coffee. You can email me at jeremy@preemptivelove.org and we’ll get it taken care of.

    Best from Iraq,

    Jeremy
