John,

Starbucks workers are on strike.

For decades, Starbucks built its reputation as a progressive, socially conscious company that had great benefits for its workers. Unfortunately, that reputation doesn’t match reality anymore. Prices are rising, working conditions are worsening, and employees are fed up.

That’s why Starbucks Workers United has escalated the pressure by organizing a nationwide strike, and they need our help.

Here are three ways you can stand with workers right now:

• Delete the Starbucks app from your phone.
• Skip your usual order while the strike continues.
• Sign on now to demand that CEO Brian Niccol meet with workers to negotiate a fair contract.

Since December 2021, more than 12,000 Starbucks workers have joined the union. Instead of sitting down at the bargaining table, Starbucks has closed 400 stores, including 59 that had unionized.

Meanwhile, their CEO Brian Niccol pocketed $96 million for himself in a single year, while baristas face short staffing, unpredictable schedules, low pay, and rising health care costs.

Workers are standing up to demand fairness, and here at Democratic Values, we’re standing with them.

Together, we can make sure corporate greed doesn’t win.
