Join LIJWJ and Starbucks Workers United for a Virtual Community Town Hall
New event announcement! Join Starbucks Workers United and LI Jobs With Justice for a virtual community town hall on November 8th! Hear directly from local Long Island Starbucks workers on their experiences working at and organizing their stores, and learn about the different ways you can get involved improving conditions for Long Island workers.
It’s clear Starbucks’ PR on their company culture isn’t worth a hill of beans. In stark contrast to the progressive image Starbucks projects, the reality for workers is that they work in hostile, union-busting, and unsafe environments. In the face of this, SBWU is organizing against the corporate giant and gaining ground for workers. Don’t take our word for it though – be there to hear it from the workers themselves Wednesday November 8th at 7PM on zoom.
And also take a second to make sure you’re following @sbworkersunited and 3 (out of 5) local unionized stores @sbwufarmingville, @sbwu_massapequa, and @sbwu_wantagh on Instagram!

Become a LIJWJ Sustainer!
Among the many ways you can support LIJWJ and the workers we fight for is by becoming a monthly sustainer! This is a surefire way to help us continue doing the work we do. We don’t get big checks from ultrawealthy donors or corporations (they’re not too fond of us for some reason 😉). Instead, funding for LIJWJ’s work comes from community funders, partners and individuals like you. Donating on a monthly basis can be the most sustainable way for both LIJWJ and you.
If you are able to give $5 – 100 a month to become an LIJWJ sustainer, please head to this link right away and sign up! At the $20/month level we’ll send a special thank you in the form of an LIJWJ t-shirt!
Again, if you are able, please go and sign up now to be a sustainer today!
