... Read moreIn the ongoing fight for workers' rights, the case of David Huerta has become a rallying point for many activists. David, a union leader, was detained by ICE, igniting protests across Los Angeles and beyond. His case highlights the broader issues facing immigrants and workers in the United States, where raids and deportations have a devastating impact on communities. The #FreeDavidStopRaids movement is gaining momentum as union members, workers across industries, and allies stand together demanding dignity and justice. The slogan "Dignity. Not Deportation." encapsulates the values and demands of the movement, advocating for humane treatment of immigrants and the right to work without fear of harassment or removal. This situation exemplifies the need for labor unions like SEIU and organizations that fight for workers' rights to come together and support each other in the struggle against unjust policies. Baristas and service workers alike are uniting under this cause, showing that the movement is not just about one individual but about the collective rights of workers everywhere. As the protests continue, it is crucial to keep awareness high and pressure on policymakers to reform the systems that allow these raids to persist. Community support, advocacy, and raising voices together can help illuminate the injustices faced by many workers and immigrants in our society. Join the conversation and fight for justice, equality, and the fundamental rights of all workers.

A collage of Starbucks baristas with the "Starbucks Workers United" logo and text "WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR," highlighting the union's demands for better conditions.
Text outlining demands for "MORE HOURS & BARISTAS ON THE FLOOR," including prioritizing current baristas for hours and requiring three workers on the floor, with two baristas raising fists.
Text demanding "HIGHER WAGES & HIGHER RAISES," specifically a $17/hr minimum wage and 4% annual raises, with a group of smiling baristas giving thumbs up.
What union Starbucks baristas are fighting for ✊
Together, we’re demanding the pay, hours, staffing and protections baristas need to succeed - and it would only cost Starbucks less than one day’s sales. Starbucks, it’s time to land a union contract and move forward! #tobeapartner #starbucksbaristas #starbuckspartners #starbuckspartner #s
