This season, we’re not buying Starbucks while @sbworkersunited.org baristas are on strike. That means more than skipping lattes: not buying Starbucks means no beans, no bearista cups, and NO GIFT CARDS. This year, it’s time to give something else: working class solidarity. Let’s talk about it>🧵 1/8
