While Starbucks baristas strike, we strike too — by not shopping at Starbucks.

This fight isn’t just about coffee. It’s about dignity, wages, and ending union busting. When baristas strike, our movement stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks.

Meme reads "me when I see someone rocking a local coffee cup instead of Starbucks during the strike." Then there is a picture of Lisa from The Simpsons screaming, "Right on, sister!"

When baristas go on strike, we show solidarity by doing the same: don’t shop at Starbucks.

No contract, no coffee. Period.

It’s #SolidaritySeason and we’re joining @sbworkersunited.bsky.social baristas in their fight for a fair contract. Seattle’s newly elected mayor, Katie Wilson, joined our Seattle rally today to stand with workers, too.

DON’T BUY STARBUCKS! ☕🚫

"Starbucks claims it offers the 'best job in retail.' As someone doing one of those jobs day in and day out, I can tell you that's not true. But it has the potential to be."

I'm a Starbucks barista. I'm striking because I want 'the best job in retail.'
Baristas want Starbucks to succeed. We take pride in the green aprons and in our customers who return each morning.

Deserving fair pay and respect isn’t enough.

Real change comes when we stand up and demand it.

Starbucks workers brew our coffee, not the billionaires. When they strike for fairness, we show up with solidarity. We’re calling on everyone to hold the line and not shop at Starbucks while baristas are on strike. #NoContractNoCoffee seiu.co/NoStarbucks

Most people in ICE detention have no criminal history. Why keep them detained? Cruelty, fear, and profit! CEOs of charter flight companies make millions flying people away from their families and communities. It’s time to #DeICEflights.

Competitive with what? 2008 wages? 💀

#UnionsForAll #SolidaritySeason
Two women sit talking. The first, labeled “WORKER,” looks concerned and says, “This pay won’t even cover housing costs.” The second, labeled “BOSS,” responds flatly, “It’s a very competitive wage.”

No one should profit from cruelty and inhumanity. But that’s exactly what some airlines are doing when they fly for ICE.

Tell airline CEOs to stop cashing in on cruelty!

Around 12% of Washington residents rely on SNAP benefits to help with food purchases, but that percentage varies widely between counties, FYI Guy writes.
