An 83-year-old relative sent this to me today and said he’s so inspired by Starbucks workers and their fight for a contract that he sent this to his friends and asked them to share it with everyone they know. 🥹

My book ON THE LINE just turned 3! I had just started work on the Starbucks campaign and held this launch event at a bookstore across the street from what would become the first union Starbucks in PA just a few weeks later.

I have some new followers, so here I am with the paperback version of my book. Read it! Especially if you like stories about working people fighting and winning, or if you like to think about union democracy, labor history, and the transformative nature of resistance.

I love this union. Imagine what we can do by commandeering 550 cafes across 45 states and the District of Columbia (that’s the current size/spread of SBWU) for community defense planning, trainings, and events. All hosted by union baristas.

We’ve shut down stores in 40 states, so far. We’re line dancing. We’re salsa dancing. We’re doing the griddy. We’re singing old labor songs and Chappell Roan and Broadway musicals. SO MUCH JOY in the fight.
