After paying way more than I should for groceries, I bypassed the in-store Starbucks to walk two blocks in the rain and purchase my coffee at Cocoa Legato. Because no CEO should make 6,666x more than a worker.
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

What would it be like if Ballmer and the ultrarich just paid their fair share in taxes instead of dictating the rules of engagement through limited donations?

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.
! A key group of Senate Democrats is leaning toward voting for a deal to end the shutdown, provided final details can be worked out like worker protections (Gift link)

(Deal does NOT include an ACA extension.)

Here are some easy Halloween actions. (1/3)

Nearly 1 million people in WA will lose their SNAP benefits tomorrow. If you're one of those people who just leaves a bowl of candy out, consider taping a flyer to it with a QR code to donate to a local food bank.

Join me in donating to the Rainier Valley Food Bank. The Bill Block Building Blocks Match will double your donation.

If you marched in the No Kings rally and are wondering, "What Now?" a tangible action you can take is to find a local food bank and set up a recurring donation. Encourage those in your circle to do the same. SNAP benefits run out Nov. 1.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Amazon enjoys an estimated $11 BILLION in state and local subsidies, largely based on expectations of job creation.

Leaked documents show Amazon is working to automate 75% of the companies operations, eliminating 600,000 workers.
