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.

⭕️ Over the past 24 hours, Israel and the United States have starved 3 more people to death in Gaza.

➤ Total deaths from malnutrition now stand at 425, of which 145 are children — the result of Israel and the U.S.’ systematic weaponisation of food and aid.

Netanyahu's callous disregard for human life is staggering.

The U.S. cannot send another penny to the Israeli government to be used to kill innocent Palestinians, doctors, nurses, and the journalists who are working to give each of them a voice.

Instead of forcibly “removing the homeless” from DC as Trump wants to do, we need to build millions of affordable housing units in America.

Instead of giving tax breaks to Wall Street billionaires who are buying up housing & jacking up rent, we need to put a cap on rent prices.
