I just got back from Netroots, where I got to share what solidarity looked like on the ground during the Starbucks strike in Philly. I wanted to bring it back to you all, too.
| When workers walked out, the strike kitchen was started to make sure people could eat, especially those suffering financially by going on strike. But it became something bigger than that. It gave people who couldn’t always be on the picket line another way to show up. We were strangers working together to make food, having everyday genuine conversations, realizing we had a lot more in common than we thought. The local church donated their kitchen. The union hall hosted the meals. Leftovers went home with workers who weren’t getting a full paycheck. Every part of it mattered.The strike kitchen worked because people found ways to contribute that fit what they could actually do. Not everyone could picket. But everyone could do something. That’s what we’re asking of you this Pride month. Baristas are still fighting, and we need community showing up for them where people already are. Be Gay and Organize: Pride Actions 2026   means handing out flyers at Pride events, talking with community members, and asking customers to Delete the App in solidarity with Starbucks workers. You don’t need any experience. Just show up. We’ll help you with the rest. |
