Without the workers, Starbucks doesn’t run. We Are Somebody stands in strong solidarity with @SBWorkersUnited in their fight for a contract with Starbucks. From boycotting Target to Starbucks - withholding our purchase - we flex our power 💪😤
As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

We are renewing that call and adding a call to boycott donations to candidates who take corporate money, AIPAC money, and/or do not support Medicare for All.

If our elected officials want the support of working people, they must earn it. We are not ATMs for the powerful - we are the backbone of this democracy.

In March, We Are Somebody demanded congressional Democrats to call on Senator Schumer to step down. At the time, we stated: “Senate minority leader Schumer’s refusal to use the leverage Democrats had in negotiations with Republicans shows his leadership is not adequate.”
UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Unless a politician or candidate supports Medicare for All, supports banning corporate money in politics, and/or takes AIPAC money, We Are Somebody is urging grassroots donors to stop donations to these politicians. Sign the pledge: https://t.co/UEqmJVGipc

Sounds like we need a…strike for ALL 👀
Mayor Brandon Johnson lit a fire in Chicago: it’s time for Americans to rise up in a general strike against the oligarchy. We will fund our schools, jobs, healthcare, and transit—not their greed. Democracy lives when we unite and take our fight to the streets. #FightOligarchy

In Cleveland on the picket line outside of @UHhospitals main campus to protest the unjust firing of Dr. Beene and Dr. Fouts-Fowler. What did they do? They tried to unionize. @UHhospitals, do the right thing. Bring the Doctors back and let your workers unionize.

The politicians who cheer for war do not die in the wars they start—the working class does. No war with Iran. No war, period.

There can be no liberation for the working class until reparations are paid. As we celebrate Juneteenth, We Are Somebody reaffirms our commitment to full justice for all-including lineage-based reparations.

Multiple news outlets are reporting that U.S. officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran. We must stand unequivocally for peace and against war.
