January 1, 2026 to January 16, 2026: New Year's Deal: Give 10/Get 10 Equal Exchange x IRTF

We’re excited to announce that Equal Exchange will be donating a portion of their sales to IRTF when you shop their online store. 

From now through January 16, when you use discount code IRTF10 on any order at equalexchange.coop, you’ll get 10% off your entire order, plus 10% will be donated to IRTF, directly supporting our solidarity work. Find organic and fairly traded coffees, teas, chocolate, cocoa, nuts, dried fruits, and even olive oil—all from small farmer co-ops, available by the case for stocking up.

But wait, there’s more! If you choose to continue shopping at equalexchange.coop in the future after the Give 10%, Get 10% code has expired, you can always use donation code IRTFDonate to ensure that 10% of your purchase will be donated back to us. 

2 promo codes to use when shopping from equalexchange.coop: A “Give 10/Get 10” short-term code: IRTF10 (12/1/25 - 12/31/25) + an ongoing Donation code: IRTFDonate starting 1/1/26 for 10% of order to be donated to IRTF.

Equal Exchange was founded in 1986 to support small farmers in Nicaragua by importing their coffee despite the US embargo against the Sandinista Government. Forty years later, this worker-owned co-op continues to prove that a more democratic food system is possible.

Your purchases enables us to continue our ongoing human rights work.

Suzanne Zilber from SURJ NEO and Josiah Quarles from Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless will co-faciitate this event sponsored by Racial Equity Buddies.   

Our part 2 verison for this training will be improved by the feedback we received on December 9th.

This training is informed by successful international movements to resist dictators and authoritarian rule.

 Participants will learn

● How to identify institutions that uphold regimes

● Strategies for how to make demands and then encourage cooperation, or impose costs on those institutions.

The emphasis is on nonviolent noncooperation tactics. The training is interactive and we will practice the application to local threats.
