Born out of the frustration felt during the height of the Tea Party movement this summer, Coffee Party USA members are fighting to bring meaningful dialogue back to politics.
Jens Palsgaard, co-coordinator for the Atlanta chapter, decided to become more politically active after coming out a few years ago and has since found a home with the Coffee Party USA.
“Right now we’re gearing up to educate people as to how the political system works. We want to empower them,” says Palsgaard, a 29-year old student who lives in Dunwoody.
