Because this keeps getting lost in all the Costco praise for their DEI commitments, the Teamsters there are about to go on strike. No crossing the picket lines. Lots of these folks are BIPOC. DEI is more than a statement. teamster.org/2025/01/cost...

if you are trans and need your resume edited, hmu. i'm a professional resume editor. i offer sliding scale and pro bono.
alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
