Welcome to Solidarity Saturday, your weekly highlight reel and shortcut to staying plugged in. 
Union baristas got a truck. 
And they’re serving free coffee to everyone boycotting Starbucks.
We’re rolling coast to coast from New York to Atlanta to Chicago to Los Angeles. 
We’re serving up coffee and bringing customers, elected officials, community leaders, and allies together to stand with baristas.
First stop was New York City. Baristas parked at the Empire State Building and City Hall, and the line wrapped around the truck. 
Starbucks sells gimmicks. We serve solidarity: a truck, a rally, and a reason to skip the drive-thru. 
Here’s this week’s brew:
Campuses are cutting Starbucks off
University of Pennsylvania students marched to demand the school cut Starbucks’ contract. They weren’t alone. More than 40 college campuses took action Thursday in solidarity with 12,000+ union Starbucks workers who have called for a boycott. From Pitt to the University of Washington, students are sending a clear message: businesses that union-bust and break labor law don’t deserve our money! 
NYC Council Member Tiffany Cabán has baristas’ backs
Council Member Tiffany Cabán introduced a resolution standing in solidarity with Starbucks workers and calling for a boycott until Starbucks bargains in good faith. Atlanta already passed one. New York, you’re up. 
Starbucks baristas in South Korea are organizing their union, too! 
From all of us here in the US, we’re sending love, solidarity, and strength as you fight for the same things US union baristas are fighting for: better staffing, fair pay, stronger protections, and more within a union contract. Starbucks can afford to do better for its workers all around the world. We have your back!
Boycott Starbucks until baristas get a fair contract. And if the truck rolls through your city, grab a cup on us. Stay loud, stay in solidarity, and thanks for being here with us!
In solidarity,
Starbucks Workers United
