The money collected in this fundraiser will go directly to the employees of Starbucks on Woodmen and Marksheffel so that they may continue to pay their bills, buy groceries, and meet other financial needs.

Good morning from DAY FIVE of our national ULP strike!

We're ready to escalate if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing & the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

RT if you're with us ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

NO CONTRACT? NO COFFEE!! 🚫☕️
Proud to stand with @sbworkersunited.org workers on the picket lines yesterday, today, and every day until their demands are met. Sign the pledge today!

$96 million for 120 days of work. $15/hour for baristas who can’t get enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s not “the best job in retail.” That’s greed.

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.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The shutdown has gone on so long, we've run out of clever ways to say it, so we'll just say it: Federal workers have been locked out or working with no pay for over a month. The Trump admin and their allies in Congress must fund the government and fix the health care crisis NOW.

Elon Musk spent his year inflicting as much pain as possible on America’s federal workers and breaking the essential services that working people rely on. 

And now he’s being handed a trillion-dollar paycheck on a silver platter.
 
Disgusting.

Join workers fighting back against FOUR years of union busting to stop @sbworkersunited.org workers from getting a fair contract. Starbuck’s new CEO Brian Niccol makes $95 million a year, a 6666:1 ratio from boss to worker pay. starbucksworkersunited.controlshift.app/events/color...

Have you checked to see what your Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium will be for 2026?

Did you get sticker shock?

Help us spread the word that we’re facing a health care crisis. Post a picture of your increase! #PostYourPremium

Even as the news is flooded with families devastated to discover their health premiums are doubling or tripling - bills they simply can’t afford - the Trump admin is still refusing to extend the ACA tax breaks.

Tell Trump and his allies in Congress: stop the health care crisis!
CALL: Stop the Shutdown and the Cuts to Working Families
The federal government is shutting down because the Trump administration chose chaos and pain over responsible governing. Countless jobs, the essential government services we all rely on and the econ...

Last night, voters across the country sent a clear message: when candidates stand with workers, they win. And these wins were just the beginning - we will continue to take back our country from the billionaire CEOs who control our economy and our lives. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Colorado sent a clear message tonight: no child should ever have to learn on an empty stomach.

While Republicans in Washington play politics with our families, our food and our health care, Colorado is stepping up, keeping Healthy School Meals for All alive for 600,000 kids.

🛑 USDA has informed states they can’t issue Nov. SNAP benefits while the government is shutdown, so Nov. benefits are currently on hold.
🚨 The federal Administration should fulfill its obligation to feed families and use its SNAP contingency reserves.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time to celebrate those who first called this land home.

America’s unions recognize the struggles and tragedies they have endured, and we honor the many indigenous communities and cultures that have contributed to the story of our labor movement.
