Are there UNION Dunkin' Donuts in Connecticut? You bet! ☕✊ There are 20+ unionized Dunkin' locations across the state. You can find them at any of the rest stops along I-95 and the Merritt Parkway. Connecticut runs on UNION Dunkin'! And remember: Don't Buy Starbucks.

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS! ☕️✊ For nearly 5 years, union baristas have been fighting for a fair contract — one that would cost Starbucks less than a single day of sales. Take the pledge. Boycott Starbucks. Show that workers will stand with union baristas until they win a fair contract @sbworkersunited.org

Unions are built upon the work of their membership. Republicans need to stop making workers the villains in their story and enact policies that allow unions to protect the basic rights of workers. youtu.be/O3hJQfuToYA

America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today. The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.

Proud to have the support of Connecticut’s AFL-CIO and looking forward to working together in this fight. While families get squeezed from every direction, the Trump administration is attacking the right to organize, dismantling labor protections, and giving tax cuts to those who make the most.

We all love the magic of Disneyland, but that magic is created by real people, workers who bring beloved characters and unforgettable moments to life every single day. Show your solidarity with us, the Entertainment Cast Members of Disneyland! actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...
A petition graphic titled "STAND WITH US!" calling for solidarity with Disneyland Entertainment Cast Members. The graphic features cartoon-style gloves—one raised in a white fist inside a red circle, and another holding a blue pen to sign a name inside a yellow circle. The text states that Disneyland wants to eliminate paid parental leave, reduce retirement and PTO benefits, and keep wages low, urging supporters to sign their names in support.
