Republicans shut down the government rather than negotiate over health care. Billionaires are stealing from us—working people are paying the price.

Call Congress: (202) 224-3121
✅ Tell Democrats: Stay strong + fight for health care.
✅ Tell Republicans: Come to the table + fund health care.

#UnionStrong 👏

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 19d
NEW: 45+ major organizations sent a letter to Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol urging the company to finalize fair union contracts.

"We will continue to back union workers’ fight, including by not crossing barista picket lines at Starbucks if they feel striking is necessary." 🔥🔥
To: Brian Niccol, Starbucks CEO Starbucks is an iconic American company. Your stores are ubiquitous and beloved by many. Your brand has the opportunity to bring people together, but right now, a cloud is hanging over Starbucks as you have yet to finalize a first union contract with baristas. We are writing to impress upon you the importance of making peace with the baristas who make the Starbucks experience what it is and working together with them to finalize fair union contracts. Baristas take the orders, make the drinks, clean the spills, and forge relationships with their customers, including many of us. We, the undersigned, have watched as baristas from Buffalo to Seattle and everywhere in between ignited a nationwide movement to demand fair treatment at work. It’s been 4 years since Starbucks baristas in Buffalo, N.Y. began to organize their store. Starbucks Workers United is now 12,000 union baristas strong—and growing. Our organizations represent over 85 million people across the U.S. and beyond. We have been proud to support Starbucks baristas in their campaign to improve your company, which has implications for all of us. We were encouraged when Starbucks agreed on a path forward with Workers United in February 2024 and frustrated when you backed away from that commitment ten months later. We’re invested in union baristas’ success. We are committed to supporting their demand for a fair contract that helps make jobs at Starbucks better, which will, in turn, improve all of our communities where you operate. We will continue to back union workers’ fight, including by not crossing barista picket lines at Starbucks if they feel striking is necessary. We may even join them on the picket line if progress toward a fair contract isn’t being made. When working people do better, we all do better. It’s time to move forward. That means finalizing fair contracts that show union baristas how you value their contributions to your multi-billion dollar company.

@sanders.senate.gov: You're telling the American people that the American Medical Association–representing hundreds of thousands of people–have been co-opted and that they should not trust their doctors?

Everybody is corrupt, but you? Is that what we're looking at? I don't think so

“I might work part-time for money, but I’m a full-time valuable person—just like all these other people I know on Medicaid are.”

#Medicaid keeps our families and communities strong.

The MAGA push to cut our care sends a clear message: they think we don’t matter.
