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: stamma.org/news/starbucks-da…

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

“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.

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.
ALT When we gather at Starbucks on Saturday, we're claiming our place in everyday spaces by showing up as ourselves. Whether you choose to stammer openly or stand in solidarity, your presence adds power to our message: our voices matter, exactly as they are.
ALT Your presence helps create an inclusive world where people who stammer can speak freely, without shame or pressure to be fluent.

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
As part of our #SpaceToStammer campaign, we spoke to people at STAMMAFest and beyond about experiences stammering in coffee shops: here's Marilena, talking about an experience they had that very day.
