You've seen the #StarbucksDayofAction pics across our feed, now read about the groups who went into their local Starbucks to make their stammering voices heard (and check out more photos from London, Liverpool, Doncaster, Glasgow and Grimsby!) here: https://t.co/bVmHed8g6r
“Sometimes the most powerful protest is simply refusing to hide who you are"
Staff supportive and kind but one did try to finish someone's sentence whilst they were mid-stammer - training needed.
Wonderful day of action yesterday at the Starbucks just by Hanover Square in London. People who stammer ordering drinks in succession, and taking their time, to protest the ordering process at Starbucks. Calling for it to be more accessible and inclusive. #StarbucksDayofAction
Gearing up for the #StarbucksDayofAction tomorrow? Us too! Here's a quick video telling you the ways you can participate at a gathering, by yourself, or online - and check out our website to grab the open letter, and read more about the campaign: https://t.co/oQ0XVOSPRN
This quote, from @NaheemBashir, Stammering Pride proponent and one of the organisers of the #StarbucksDayofAction this coming Saturday, wonderfully sums up exactly what the movement is about: solidarity, kinship, and taking up space in the world.
Did you catch Marilena's story at STAMMAFest or after? Definitely worth a listen before our #StarbucksDayofAction on the 26th: they sum up the issue perfectly - the sheer disrespect that people who stammer face when ordering in a cafe. #SpaceToStammer
@stammertime We’d really like Starbucks to engage with STAMMA in a constructive way to train their staff in a similar way to how they have engaged the deaf community.
Join us on October 26th at Starbucks stores across the UK for a peaceful protest in collaboration with STAMMA. This protest is a call to action for Starbucks to make their ordering process accessible and inclusive for people who stammer. https://t.co/Mxm8KjptS4
@stammertime Apps don’t always offer timely and universal access, especially for those who may struggle with technology. Some people may prefer to use their voice and we want to advocate for a culture where people with stammers feel welcome and understood in coffee shops.
In honour of International Stammering Awareness Day and practising what I preach, here are some thoughts on being a priest with a stammer. https://t.co/4eGJLsKTzb? #ISAD24
