In 2022, Atlanta Starbucks workers made history by winning their first union election in the state of Georgia. Since then, Starbucks Workers United has organized 12 stores in Georgia, and Atlanta Starbucks workers have become a vibrant force in the growing Atlanta labor movement.
Now, after a over a year of dragging their feet at the bargaining table, the billion-dollar company has taken things to a new low and threatened to close Ansley Mall Starbucks, one of the strongest union stores in the South. This is no coincidence. Starbucks realized they can't beat workers fair and square, so now they're trying to demoralize workers, hoping they give up the fight. We can't let them do this.
It's time to show Starbucks corporate that Atlanta is a union town! Please use our easy letter writing tool at atldsa.org/ansley to email Starbucks management to let them know closing Ansley Mall is unacceptable. Our friendly baristas at Starbucks work hard, day in and day out to keep Atlanta caffeinated. All they're asking for is a good union contract.
Send your email NOW to tell Starbucks to STOP union busting, and let them know the community wants to keep Ansley Mall Starbucks OPEN!

Support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Kennesaw State University!
|
Join the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) at Kennesaw State University in telling their University administration that the elimination of important academic programs and initiatives that help underrepresented and marginalized students is unacceptable!
From YDSA KSU: "KSU says it puts students first, but actions speak louder than taglines. They’ve dismantled our identity-based resource centers. Cut Black Studies and Philosophy. Left international students vulnerable without due process. All under the false claim of legal 'compliance' with a nonbinding federal letter. This isn’t about law. It’s about fear. It’s about erasing the communities that make this campus worth fighting for. We’re demanding restoration, transparency, and real accountability."
Sign the petition to the KSU administration below!

For Your Consideration:
Faye Guenther, president of UFCW Local 3000, discusses how unions can fight to protect the civil rights of all their members. What are the challenges you face in your workplace and neighborhood in getting others to stand up for justice? Why is it important that unions lead on issues outside the workplace, too?
