The @SBWorkersUnited Bus Tour has finally reached @Starbucks HQ!
It is time for Starbucks to stop stalling and come to the bargaining table with the 8,000 baristas who have organized a union.
This is what solidarity looks like. 11,000 on strike and thousands of workers from across sectors out here at Los Angeles City Hall with @seiu721#SolidaritySummer
"I considered quitting, but it felt like that would be abandoning my friends and coworkers. So, I resolved to make things better..." - Maya, Seattle @Starbucks worker
#StarbucksSolidarity
Unionists & community supporters joined the @sbworkersunited bus tour in Seattle, dancing our way through 🔥Strike Place Market🔥 and celebrating worker organizing despite Starbucks’ illegal union busting.
Joy and justice go hand in hand! #StarbucksSolidarity
ALT Starbucks workers, supporters and sirens dancing in the market
The next generation of screenwriters made their voices heard at the WGAE Young Writers Picket. Seeing aspiring writers speak so passionately about the future of their careers is a great reminder of what we’re fighting for! #WGAstrike
