In 2025, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet successfully avoided over $50 BILLION in taxes.
Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” these corporations paid their lowest tax rate in YEARS.
They dine & dash while working people are left to foot the bill.

Starbucks has scrapped a $250,000 limit on its CEO's use of the company jet for personal travel.
CEO Brian Niccol uses the jet to commute from his house California to corporate HQ in Seattle.
The company is lifting the cap while refusing thousands of baristas a union contract.

Workers are seeing prices skyrocket on rent, groceries, utilities and more. We’re fighting to pay the bills while corporations make even more money.
Enough is enough. A union contract is how we start to level the playing field and get our fair share.

JPMorgan Chase rakes in billions while janitors at M Financial Plaza are told to accept less. That’s not “business”—that’s greed. We showed up in #PearlDistrict to demand what working people deserve: fair pay, real benefits, & respect on the job. #JusticeForJanitors #RaiseAmericaPDX

Hey JPMorgan Chase—clean up your mess. You’re making billions & squeezing janitors at M Financial Plaza. Our community showed up to say what should be obvious: pay fair wages, respect workers, & hire union janitors. The richest bank in the country can afford dignity. #JusticeForJanitors
