🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

The Ken Jennings thing was distilled proof of “I’m your biggest ally until you make me feel bad for the thing I like doing and then I stop listening.” This is so common. People will stand up for a marginalized community UP UNTIL it puts them in an uncomfortable position

my rent is also 3 days overdue and idk if i should pay the rent with the money i’ve received so far or if i should hold out a little and see if i can get enough to schedule the scan first i feel so bad about not paying the rent because the stress is on my roommate who has been really good to me

hey, i’m bex and this post is about me i was diagnosed with GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor) almost 2 years ago. along the way, my treatment plans were not as effective as they should have been bc i skipped medication dosages when i could not afford to pay for it. (more in comments…)

I KNOW there are 94 people in this community who care enough about the lives of Black queer folks to help Bex, a cancer patient who has given up everything they have to survive. They lost everything since they were diagnosed, but they STILL have the will to fight. paypal.me/thelongestroad
