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

The hateful march we saw in London last weekend has left many of the women we support feeling scared and unwelcome.
The impact of such on people of colour, migrant and religious communities cannot be underestimated.
In the face of racism, Islamophobia and hatred, we stand strong.

Anti-trans rhetoric doesn’t protect women. It causes harm. It masquerades as feminism while stripping away solidarity and compassion.
Real feminism is about justice and equality for all women, including trans women.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”.
They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour.
They were gunned down and murdered instead.
What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
