Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.

No contract? NO COFFEE!

Corporate greed is global. But so is worker power.
Unions For All isn’t just a slogan — it’s the path to fairness.

The union estimated Thursday that more than 1,000 baristas across more than 65 stores in around 40 cities were participating in the strike against Starbucks.
Which Starbucks stores in Seattle are striking on Red Cup Day?

Starbucks baristas are on strike and the No Kings Alliance stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power belongs to the people who make this country run: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge #NoContractNoCoffee #NoKings

While Starbucks baristas strike, we strike too — by not shopping there. This fight isn’t just about coffee.
It’s about dignity, wages, and respect.
America has No Kings — only working people united in solidarity.

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.

It also contributes to a reentry kit waiting for someone the day they walk out of jail.

That $25 helps fuel the hotline that never sleeps. It keeps our volunteers trained, our servers running, and our reentry database live and free to use. Every click has an echo, not in pity, but in power.

Let’s follow a $25 donation - and see how far it really goes.

When you hit “donate,” your gift doesn’t disappear into administrative overhead. It becomes a phone card for someone behind bars who hasn’t spoken to their child in weeks. It buys stamps for our Mentor by Mail program.

This week, we’re inviting supporters to adopt a reentry kit - a simple way to say, “I see you, and I believe in your next chapter.”

Each kit costs $25 and includes hygiene items, basic clothing, snacks, and a phone card. It’s a small package with a big message: you matter, and you’re not alone.

There’s an app called Good to Go that allows you to purchase surplus food from restaurants and stores. It’s a little dystopian, but hey 🤷🏽‍♀️

If you don’t need it, it’s a good, inexpensive way to help folks experiencing food insecurity

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?
