Starbucks Workers United Flyering Event – Castro

Starbucks Workers United is making history with one of the fastest growing union campaigns. More than 10,500 workers at more than 470 stores are headed back into bargaining for their first contract, and they are asking for the community’s support!

On Sunday, August 25th from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., DSA SF Labor is hosting a flyering event outside the union Starbucks at 4094 18th St to educate customers that their baristas are bargaining for their first union contract. Come support union labor!

RSVP

Join the Palestine Solidarity Anti-Imperialist Working Group in our No Appetite for Apartheid campaign in SF!

Inspired by long-standing Palestinian boycott tactics and the BDS call, we are canvassing local stores and asking them to pledge to become Apartheid-Free by dropping products from companies complicit in the genocide of Palestinians and colonization of Palestine. It’s time to turn up the heat on this apartheid regime and take apartheid off our plates!

We will be holding our first public canvass on August 25th!

Want to show your support? Sign our Apartheid-Free Pledge so business owners know how popular this movement is with their local customers. After signing the pledge, we would love to see you at any of our upcoming campaign strategy sessions and canvassing days.

  • Canvassing kick-off! Sunday, August 25th, 1:00-2:30 p.m. Check dsasf.org/events for meeting location updates.
  • Weekly canvassing every Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.

Sign the BAD! Petition

Bay Area Divest! (BAD!) is a new coalition that believes we must invest our public funds in our communities, NOT in repression, war, or genocide! DSA SF officially endorses BAD!, along with East Bay DSA, AROC, Palestinian Youth Movement, AFSC, Palestinian Feminist Collective, JVP, CodePink, and several other great organizations. Please sign the petition to join BAD! in refusing to allow our public funds to go towards supporting genocide and occupation.
