SodaStream boycott – Your
chance to complain and feel great about it! 

SodaStream Boycott Advocates,

We’re writing to ask that you stop by a local Kitchen
Kaboodle store to request that they stop selling SodaStream products.  You won’t be the only one stopping by to
register your complaint.  We’re asking all
SodaStream boycott advocates to join in a Marathon
Complaint Session in late October & early November.  For three days, we’ll flood Kitchen
Kaboodle with personal requests to stop selling SodaStream products.  We’re doing this to send the store owners a
strong message about the importance of de-shelving SodaStream products, and a
strong message about our ability to mount a serious public boycott effort
should they continue selling SodaStream products. 

The Marathon
Complaint Session is scheduled for Friday, October 31^st, Saturday, November
1^st and Monday, November 3^rd.  

To participate in the Marathon Complaint Session, simply
decide which Kitchen Kaboodle store you wish to visit, then click on the link for
that store:

Ø  To select the Northeast
Portland Store at 1520 N.E. Broadway Street at 16^thAvenue,   click here:  Sign-up sheet for
Northeast Portland Store

Ø  To select the Northwest
Portland Store at 404 N.W. 23rd Avenue at Flanders
Street,  click here:  Sign-up sheet for
the Northwest Portland Store

After you
register for a time slot at one of these stores, we’ll send you specific instructions
for the event, including suggested wording for your verbal complaint. 

Consider
taking a friend along for the experience!

Here’s more
background:  In recent months, our
SodaStream boycott planning team has been reaching out (quietly) to the owners
of Kitchen Kaboodle, asking that they halt their sales of SodaStream
products.  We’ve sent multiple letters
and placed numerous phone calls.  The owners
have refused to de-shelve their SodaStream products, and have refused even to
meet with us to discuss the matter.  So
we’re ramping up the pressure. 

Also planned for Kitchen Kaboodle is the delivery of signed
petitions, which many of you have helped to gather.   To date we’ve gathered nearly 600 handwritten
signatures (!) asking Kitchen Kaboodle (and Target Galleria) to cease their
sales of SodaStream products.   Look for
a separate e-mail message regarding delivery of those signed petitions some weeks
from now.

For additional requests or suggestions, send an e-mail message
to PortlandSodaStreamBoycott@gmail.com

In solidarity,

Portland SodaStream Boycott Planning Team
