Starbucks claims a fair contract would hurt customers, but customers overwhelmingly say stores are short staffed and service has suffered. It’s clear that Starbucks is refusing accountability for its massive labor law violations and is willing to use customers and workers as scapegoats for their corporate greed.  Starbucks can easily afford to do right by its workers; a fair contract would cost them less than one day of sales. It’s time for Starbucks to return to the bargaining table and recognize the workers who make its success possible.  What’s happening right now with Starbucks, from mass labor law violations to a Trump-appointed judge stripping away damages owed to a Starbucks organizer, shows exactly how the corporate elite are protected by politicians while the rest of us are left to fight to meet our basic needs. Starbucks workers need your solidarity as they begin their nationwide strike.  Workers make Starbucks’ profits possible, period. Sign the petition now to demand Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol come to the bargaining table and stop union busting! 

Home Depot locations have recently been the site of cruel ICE raids and roundups, targeting day laborers who are just trying to work. In August, Carlos Roberto Montoya, a native of Guatemala, was struck by a vehicle and killed while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot in California. His death was the direct result of Home Depot's allowing ICE to operate on its property. Home Depot has the power and responsibility to stop this now. As a private company, it can deny ICE access to its stores and parking lots unless agents have a warrant. And in an industry built by immigrant workers, Home Depot is in a unique position to take a stand for the people who make its business possible. We’re calling on Home Depot to: • Publicly condemn ICE raids targeting workers and day laborers • Deny ICE agents access to its stores and parking lots without a warrant • Protect all customers and workers from ICE actions Support these demands by adding your name to the petition now!

When we sold Ben & Jerry’s to Unilever in 2000, the corporation set up an independent board so Ben & Jerry’s could continue its political statements and social justice work without corporate interference. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. It’s no surprise that all of this is happening at a time when our country’s current administration is attacking Black and brown communities, civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community.  Sticking up for the values of justice, equity, and our shared humanity has never been more important—and yet Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power. It’s easy to stand up and speak out when there’s nothing at risk. The real test of values is when times are challenging and you have something to lose. And we can do something about it. Join us by signing our petition demanding that Unilever stop silencing Ben & Jerry’s and be entered to win a free pint of my sorbet. Then, send it to three friends to spread the word. No purchase, payment, or contribution necessary to enter to win. Void where prohibited. Entries must be received by 11:00 p.m. on December 5, 2025. You may enter by signing the petition here.

The NBA’s partnership with Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates stands in direct contradiction to the league’s values of social justice and equality. The UAE has been accused of funding and arming forces responsible for the genocide in Sudan. Fans are calling on the NBA to end this deal immediately and stand with the people of Sudan.

California just passed a law mandating that ads on streaming services match the noise level of the movie or television show being watched. So the framework already exists—we just need more states to take action and implement it.  Their crackdown on excessively loud ads is set to go into effect July 1, 2026, and would cut down on noise pollution that disturbs homes and wakes sleeping children.  And it’s not the first time there’s been reform around loud ads. In 2010, Congress passed federal legislation called the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act to bring quiet commercials to cable television and radio shows.  Now, streamers must adhere to the CALM Act in California—and leaders nationwide should ensure they’re required to do the same in every state.  Add your name to the petition and demand that streaming platforms dial down the volume on their ads.

The White House’s militarization of Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland, and threats to deploy troops to other cities, are terrifying workers. The very people that help D.C. function — day care workers, construction workers, restaurant workers, home and health care workers, and so many others — are too afraid of the military checkpoints and masked ICE agent dragnets to make it to their jobs. During the weeks of military occupation in D.C., day care centers have had to partially or completely close because of a worker shortage — and at least one center suspended daytime walks because of worries that the children they look after might encounter armed troops on the streets. Traffic stops in D.C. of construction vehicles are leading to unexplained worker arrests and companies unsure what to do next. People in need of care in their homes — family elders and disabled folks — aren’t able to get the help they need because health care workers fear random military stops if they leave their homes. The massive ICE raid of a Hyundai and LG factory under construction in Georgia is another arm of this federal terror. DHS arrested hundreds of workers, imprisoning many mostly South Korean workers for a week and putting the future of the factory and the 8,500 jobs it could have created in jeopardy. If America’s largest corporations and their powerful CEOs don’t use their influence to protect workers, cities across the country may fall under military occupation and the utter state of fear felt by so many in D.C. Racial profiling in D.C. has surged during the troop deployment, as immigrant workers face outsized threats of arrest, imprisonment, and deportations. 40% of the arrests in D.C. have been immigration related. The fear imposed by the federal government has hurt the D.C. economy, threatened labor across the metro D.C. area, and halted important daily operations. The ICE raid in Georgia harmed workers at the Hyundai-LG site AND threatened future jobs. Is that what powerful CEOs and America’s largest corporations want to see replicated in city after city?   America’s Fortune 500 companies and all U.S. employers must use their power now to end the militarization of America. Sign the petition: Protect the safety and well-being of workers, and free all workers from domestic military occupation!

Upwards of 100,000 people attend the Super Bowl, and the event is supposed to be a celebration of football and its fans, powered by thousands of workers who make it possible. The Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco should not be marked by Trump’s mass chaos, trauma, and detention.  Bad Bunny and his team already made the difficult decision to not tour his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos in the United States out of fear of ICE raids, and how they might use him and his concerts to kidnap and target his fans. But of course, the Trump administration is cruel, and doubled down by saying they’d have ICE at the Super Bowl. People on the ground in communities most impacted by Trump’s authoritarian militarized takeover are uniting to fight back, and doing everything they can to protect their neighbors and loved ones. Local elected officials like Alderwoman Jessie Fuentes are putting their bodies on the line to defend their constituents. Bad Bunny is an artist who has been very outspoken about injustice and has used his music and platform to advocate for our communities. He has also been vocally against Trump and his immigration policies, and in 2024, he spoke out against a speaker at Trump’s rally when he disgustingly called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” He has been a fierce advocate for Puerto Rican rights and independence because Puerto Rico is a colony of the U.S. and the people of Puerto Rico have constantly been failed, especially by Trump, his administration, and its harmful policies. Eight years ago, Puerto Ricans were devastated by Hurricanes Maria and Irma, and families were displaced and abandoned, the entire island was left without power for 11 months (the longest blackout in US history), many were left without water, and thousands died from neglect from those in power. The people of Puerto Rico deserve better. Together, we can continue fighting for all of our communities and keeping each other safe, one step at a time. The NFL must take this step too, to stop ICE from targeting people at their Super Bowl. Will you add your name to the petition?

The President  is trying to take away America's Free speech rights that are embedded in the Constitution.  Trump has weaponized the FCC and it's Director to threaten and coerce broadcasters into submitting to his demands only because he doesn't like what HE hears, usually about himself. Comedians should never be the target of Presidents. The next step in the 2025 agenda could quite possibly be muzzling YOUR speech.

Nexstar’s major merger with Tegna has been in the works for a while—but it’s getting more attention and heat following their meddling with “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Jimmy Kimmel was temporarily taken off the air by ABC after his televised commentary on the Trump administration and Republicans' exploitation of Charlie Kirk’s murder. The decision came after the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Brendan Carr announced that local ABC stations should “push back” and “pre-empt” coverage that does not serve “their local communities.” And now, it’s become clear that Nexstar, in trying to protect its $6 billion merger, put pressure on ABC and Disney in order to align itself with the Trump administration and appease the FCC. Sinclair, the other major broadcasting company that is doubling down on keeping Kimmel off air, had previously tried to acquire Tegna, and has its own acquisitions up for FCC review. This deal has corporate corruption and government overreach written all over it—and everyday Americans are going to pay the price. We have to expose this shady business deal before Nexstar and other major companies control our media and become proxy propaganda outlets for Trump and his cronies. ABC’s decision to pull Kimmel off the air was a direct result of corporate corruption. Tell the FCC NOT to approve this merger.

The fundamental values of Constitutional free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment have been stabbed in the heart by this illegal and false attack censoring Jimmy Kimmel.  He told the truth about the dishonest misconduct of the Trump administration in their entirely false and misleading propaganda about the death of Charlie Kirk. Having the federal government threaten a network to censor speech is precisely what the First Amendment prohibits and this action threatens the very nature of our American Democracy. 

Costco has announced that its pharmacies will NOT dispense mifepristone—a safe, FDA-approved abortion pill used in the majority of abortions nationwide. This dangerous decision is a concession to anti-abortion extremists, not a reflection of what customers or patients need. Mifepristone is an overwhelmingly safe medication—even safer than other commonly prescribed low-risk drugs like penicillin and Viagra. Millions of patients have used it, and it remains a cornerstone of reproductive health care. By refusing to get certified to sell mifepristone, Costco is caving to political pressure from far-right extremists and prioritizing their demands over the needs of customers and patients. This decision sets a dangerous precedent where corporations can make decisions about what legal medications people are allowed to access. Patients deserve safe, affordable, and accessible health care. Add your name to the petition demanding that Costco follow industry leaders CVS and Walgreens, stand up for its members, and dispense mifepristone in its pharmacies now.

We, the undersigned fans, allies, and supporters of the WNBA, stand in full solidarity with the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) during negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). As loyal supporters of this league and its incredible athletes, we recognize the value, talent, and impact players bring to the sport—not just on the court, but across communities, industries, and movements for justice. The WNBA has become a global symbol of excellence, activism, and leadership—largely because of the strength, vision, and unity of its players. Every part of this business has grown—media rights, ticket sales, team valuations. The only thing still capped is player salaries. This is unacceptable. The people driving this growth—the players, deserve their fair share. We support the WNBPA’s call for salary and benefits that reflect players' true value and contributions to the game, the league, and the culture around it. We stand behind players demands for: • Sustainable salaries and a modern revenue-sharing structure, • Comprehensive healthcare and wellness benefits, including full support for parental and family care, • Safe, equitable travel standards, including full charter flight access, • Transparency and equity in league operations and partnerships, and • A continued commitment to player voice and leadership in shaping the WNBA’s future. The WNBPA's fight is part of an overdue and broader wave across women’s sports. In recent years, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) renegotiated its CBA ahead of schedule—abolishing outdated systems like the draft, expanding free agency, nearly doubling minimum salaries, and securing full healthcare, mental health leave, and travel protections. These landmark deals—driven by players and fans—show what’s possible when players are valued and invested in as full partners in a league’s success. Now, it’s time for the WNBA to meet this moment. The league cannot sustain growth without its players. The WNBA's future and its integrity depends on a contract that honors those who make it what it is: the players. We urge the league commissioners, owners, and all stakeholders to negotiate in good faith and to center the voices and needs of the players in every decision. It's time. Together, we raise our voices: PAY THE PLAYERS!
