4/11 One Million Messages to Starbucks

Background:

Starbucks’ new CEO, Laxman Narasimhan, will be entering his fourth week on the job, which puts us at a pivotal moment to use our collective power to call on him to clean up Starbucks’ reputation by ending the company’s scorched-earth union-busting campaign, build a healthy relationship with baristas, and work together with SBWU.
 
Starting at 7am PT on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, Starbucks Workers United, allied organizations, and global labor partners will host a day of action that spans the globe in a massive show of support for Starbucks workers fighting for a seat at the table by sending a million messages to the company.

How do we get to 1 million messages to Starbucks?

The anchor of the day will be flooding Starbucks with messages in solidarity on social media. Starbucks Workers United members and union partners will post to socials using hashtag #StickItToStarbucks!
