trans people are getting that opportunity to actually drive our own liberation. And there's just so few places in society where we get that. That's been one of the most exciting things about being part of this union for me. And yes, you should consider going to work at Starbucks and unionizing it.

And certainly, you know, to directly plug a little bit, if there are baristas in your audience, they absolutely should go to our website. I think there will be a link like in the description of the episode or something. Go visit our union's website, get in touch with an organizer and start organizing it.

But there is a template. There's a plan. We've done this a bunch. We've done it at over 500 stores, at least 512 at this point nationwide, which is pretty incredible, especially to have done all that without yet having even secured our contract. So we have a good template for how to win. And if you just get in touch... then people will reach out to help you.

And that does include professional staff, but it also includes people like us who are workers that will be peer-to-peer, worker-to-worker organizers because that's what this campaign has been built on from the beginning is workers organizing each other.

It's never been more needed than now. So this is the time. if you're not a barista or you can't become a barista, then we still really need people to sign a solidarity pledge with our union and get involved that way as allies, as supporters. Community support is always critical to union struggles.

We are bargaining our contract with Starbucks right now, and community support is a huge part of what's going to get us you know, the contract that does deliver the kind of protections and benefits we're looking for, that does set a precedent for what trans-inclusive union organizing and union bargaining can look like in this country.
