"Reason, truth and civility in public affairs; A government of public servants
accountable to the People; A People committed to civic virtue, compassion and
the common good."
—Coffee Party USA
The Big Apple Coffee Party
is committed to diversity, civil discourse, acting independently of political
parties, corporations, and of political lobbying networks.
We demand a government that responds to the needs of the majority of its
citizens as expressed by our votes and by our voices—not corporate interests as expressed by misleading advertisements and campaign
contributions.
We want a society in which democracy is treated as sacrosanct and ordinary
citizens
participate out of a sense of civic duty, civic pride, and a desire to
contribute to society.
The Big Apple Coffee Party
consists of grassroots activists who live in New York City who meet regularly to
advance our common goals.
