Supporters of “free trade” coffee plan to distribute free coffee during a coordinated coffee break from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday in the gazebo at Buford M. Watson Jr. Park, Seventh and Kentucky streets.

The Lawrence event is intended to be part of the “Fair Trade Coffee Break” being organized by www.twohandsworldshop.com. The effort aims to get at least 5,000 people nationwide to simultaneously take a coffee break, an event designed to focus on the benefits of fair trade for farmers, consumers and the environment. Educational information will be provided, and fair traders will be available to answer questions.
