I want the educators I represent to know that their experience isn’t only valuable when lawmakers ask for their input. Their experience is valuable in the Legislature itself.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
