And that's obviously not only relevant for trans people, but it is certainly relevant for trans people.

It's been a focus for us for a long time. Also in part because the initial, you know, our public, um, bargaining proposals that were released early on when we first formulated our demands included improvements to gender-affirming care at Starbucks.

And, you know, Neha was involved nationally in the campaign and had the opportunity and the encouragement to start track, you know, we have to be part of it, I think, is on some level, you know, the most basic prerequisite for everything that came after is because trans people have been involved with this campaign from the beginning.

We do have so much support and solidarity from our coworkers and from our fellow union comrades. regardless of whether they're cis or trans. And I think part of that is because we've really showed up and done the work.
