With Starbucks workers on strike nationwide, now is an important time to
show that we stand in solidarity with them. Taking on a large corporation
like Starbucks is not easy — but we can do it, as long as we're all in it
together.

That's why we are asking you directly:

Workers Fund today? 100% of your contribution will go toward workers at
Starbucks engaged in workplace activism and organizing.

This past Thursday, all across the country, Starbucks workers went on
strike at over 100 stores, demanding that the company meet them at the
bargaining table to negotiate over workplace issues, such as chronic short
staffing. They are courageously taking on a multi-billion dollar
corporation to say enough is enough. It's time for Starbucks to treat its
workers with dignity and respect.

Over the past year, Starbucks Workers United has unionized 165 Starbucks
stores in 36 states and Washington, D.C. Not only are Starbucks shops
voting to unionize, they are voting pro-union in overwhelming numbers.
Their grassroots organizing campaign has an incredible 82% win rate and 59
unanimous union election wins.

Starbucks has responded with an unprecedented union busting campaign by
firing over 130 union leaders, threatening and surveilling workers,
refusing to bargain in good faith, and closing union stores. The National
Labor Relations Board has already found merit in over 900 separate
allegations of employer misconduct.

At a time of extreme (and growing) income and wealth inequality, the
working class of this country is telling billionaires and large
corporations that they cannot continue to exploit workers while they make
millions in profit. They are making it clear that we cannot continue to
tolerate a system where the very rich get richer, while working families
struggle to put food on the table.

Alexandria has been proud to stand with Starbucks workers throughout their
unionization efforts. Because in our view, there is no way we can
transform this country in a progressive direction without a strong trade
union movement.

So today we’re asking you to do something important to stand in solidarity
with Starbucks workers organizing for better wages and working conditions.

[ [link removed] ]Can you please make a $3 contribution to the Starbucks
Workers Fund today? Their struggle is our struggle, which is why we must
stand together.

Thank you for pitching in if you’re able to, and as always, thank you for
being such a key part of this movement.

In solidarity,

Team AOC
