PORTLAND, Ore. – Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz changed how America drinks coffee. Now he wants to change the political system.
The leader of the coffee giant says U.S. political leaders have created a “crisis of confidence” with their political wrangling that is wreaking havoc on the economy.
He said he wants to give a voice to all citizens by hosting a national telephone forum on Tuesday.
He’s also running ads in the New York Times and USA Today ahead of the event, featuring an open letter that urges Americans to participate in the forum and insist politicians end their hyper-partisan behavior.
The forum will be hosted by nonpartisan group No Labels.
