It is absurd that Starbucks is still allowing ICE agents into stores.
Other businesses have updated their guidance to protect customers and workers - why isn't Starbucks?

THE WINS DON'T STOP. 💪
Congratulations to baristas in Manchester, VT who just won their union today!
Workers are seeing Starbucks fail them year after year. It's time we stand together and demand more from a company that can afford to do better!

We stand in solidarity with the Brazilian coffee workers who are occupying São Paulo's largest Starbucks location to demand an end to alleged forced labor conditions on farms supplying the company.
Starbucks Board Member & Land O Lakes CEO Beth Ford needs to make it clear whether she values the well-being of baristas and our neighborhoods more than profits and a return to business as usual.
We call on @Starbucks board member and Land O Lakes CEO Beth Ford to say the names of our murdered neighbors, to say the names of the agencies who murdered them in broad daylight.
We can’t afford you trying to stay above the fray! Stand with us and say ICE out now!

Starbucks wants to be a third place, a community gathering space. That’s not possible without supporting baristas, and it’s not possible with ICE agents on the premises.

Starbucks feeling the pressure of our ULP strike
We took our ULP strike to Starbucks HQ in Seattle and plan to stay until $SBUX stops union busting & brings new proposals to the table.
Yesterday @PramilaJayapal picketed with us.
Today the cops told baristas they’ve been asked to clear the camp by tomorrow. Watch this space!

The baristas that make your Starbucks drinks are fighting for better treatment on the job and an end to union busting. Here's a few moments from our national ULP strike now that we've been on the picket line for over a month. ✊ Stand with us & don't buy Starbucks!

Thank you @TishJames and the over 180 state and local elected officials who stood with striking baristas and sent a letter to Starbucks this week, calling on the company to end union busting and finalize a fair union contract. #NoContractNoCoffee

Following yesterday's massive rally in Seattle, striking baristas have announced our next escalation: ⛺️CAMP CONTRACT!⛺️
We're camping outside Starbucks HQ around the clock to remind them that union baristas aren't going ANYWHERE. #NoContractNoCoffee
Philly Workers United retweeted
Starbucks wants our holiday spirit, but won't give baristas a contract and won’t stop trying to bust our union. ☕️ Baristas make Starbucks run, and today we’re showing them exactly what happens when workers stand together. No more excuses. No more delays. #NoContractNoCoffee

3⃣7⃣ days on national ULP strike. We're in this for the long haul and are ready to keep fighting until Starbucks stops union busting and settles a fair contract 💪
PS: Say good morning to our striking baristas in Ashburn, VA!

Silvia Baldwin, a bargaining delegate for @SBWorkersUnited, explains why over 3,800 baristas are striking:
"The average barista receives just 19 hours per week, leaving them one hour short of the cutoff to receive company benefits."

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross the picket line!
No Starbucks and NO Starbucks gift cards!
JUST IN: This morning, hundreds of baristas have joined our national ULP strike.
The solidarity is strong: For every one barista on strike, dozens more allies have shown up in force to back our cause.
Our strike continues to grow in strength and power! #NoContractNoCoffee
