John, 

Did you know Starbucks workers like me have organized unions in over 335 Starbucks stores in less than two years? This historic unionization wave has been fueled by a call for Starbucks to uphold the progressive values it claims to stand for by respecting our right to organize.

Starbucks’ response? Union busting, plain and simple. In fact, Starbucks has broken federal labor laws 200 times – making them one of the most egregious union busters in modern history.

That’s why we’re fighting back – and we need your help. Can you join us on August 7 to demand Starbucks respects workers’ rights to organize? Click here to find an event near you or - even better - host your own! 

Despite the power that we’ve built, and our eagerness to engage with the company, Starbucks continues to use whatever tactics they can think of to get in the way of our efforts to make improvements in our workplace. So, Starbucks customers and allies are organizing hundreds of events across the country to hold Starbucks accountable, and demand they live up to the values they built their business on.

Turn out on August 7 to stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers like me and demand that Starbucks quits union busting and respects workers’ right to organize. 

Now, more than ever, we need customers and allies alike to stand with Starbucks workers and make it clear that you’re not buying its empty claims to be a good company – and that we won’t let up until it quits union busting and starts respecting workers' rights. Sign up to stand with us on August 7. 

See you there,
