In the San Diego California community of Ocean Beach (OB) local activists and small buisness owners have been struggleing to keep out the Starbucks corporation since March of this year.
Despite six months of protests and meetings and pickets Starbucks has ignored the people and this last Saturday the 15th of Sept. they had their grand opening.
The people of OB have not given up but instead have started to picket the store front and call for a Boycott.
Nice movie Jim! It looked great and was put together well. I really get that there is diverse backing for boycotting the OB Starbucks.
I neglected to publish the Ocean Beach Grassroots Organization's URL so for more in fo go to .
