| Starbucks keeps dragging its feet on a fair contract while continuing union busting and refusing to resolve pending unfair labor practices. Baristas aren’t backing down, and the public spotlight matters more than ever. Right now, one of the most effective ways to keep the spotlight on Starbucks is through local media. It helps shape what communities pay attention to and what companies are forced to respond to. Letters to the editor bring the calls to stop buying Starbucks forward and keep this fight in the public eye.That’s where you come in! We’re calling on allies to submit letters to the editor (LTEs) in their local papers. Submitting a letter to the editor by February 1 is a concrete way you can help strengthen that pressure and amplify what baristas are organizing toward. |
| Get the LTE toolkit |
You don’t need to be a professional writer or policy expert to make an impact – all you need to do is speak from the heart. When enough people share their voices, even a few sentences can shift momentum and move this campaign forward.
Here are a few ways to join in before February 1:
- Write a letter to the editor (LTE) on your own.
- Grab a few friends and submit LTEs together.
- Add a quick LTE-writing moment to a meeting, class, or gathering.
- Invite your community group or organization to submit letters as a group.
If you’re ready to take action, fill out this quick form, and we will send you a toolkit with sample language, submission tips, and everything you need to get your letter published.
Every letter helps push Starbucks closer to accountability for union busting, resolving unfair labor practices, and delivering the fair contract baristas deserve.
Thank you for taking action and standing with workers.
In solidarity,
