Customers Support Starbucks Workers on Strike

As of November 13, Starbucks employees across the country officially went on strike, saying they are prepared for this to become the biggest and longest strike in Starbucks history. Workers are asking all allies to skip Starbucks purchases and sign a "No Contract No Coffee" pledge.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, members of The Wolves, based in Menlo Park, took their support for workers to another level. On November 14 they added a popular Palo Alto Starbucks location to their monthly "Fascist Crawl", a march that winds through that city's downtown. Their regular walking tour/protest stops at corporations owned by billionaires including Palantir, Apple, Salesforce, Amazon/Whole Foods, Valor Equity and the original location of Facebook.

At the newly added Starbucks stop, a group of about 25 people of all ages, some in Portlandesque costumes, held a SpeakOut/SingOut to the surprise of many coffee drinking customers on the store's large front patio. The Raging Grannies were on hand to lead singing.
