[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

This week Howard Schultz returned to Italy to talk about Starbucks and our union campaign before he steps down as CEO. Schultz claims that Starbucks was inspired by the Italian coffeehouse scene, yet this is how ACTUAL coffeehouse workers are responding to his interview —

In this episode of Street Roots Radio on @xrayfm I cover how evictions have surged after pandemic protections expired-- but the causes run deeper than the pandemic. https://t.co/Tui9tdfh80

Heyyy... if you're interested in a story about how Portland created an advisory group for the mayor exempt from lobbying and then invited one of the region's biggest lobby groups to join, give my interview on @xrayfm a listen: https://t.co/vUJu7zajmF

@maggiesmithpoet i love treating future-me. love that girl.

[Piper McDaniel @Piperamcdaniel]

My latest for @StreetRoots shows how members of Portland's 'expediting groups'—peopled with business representatives—are exempt from lobby disclosures and give recommendations to the mayor. https://t.co/lWYOO0ZKA9

[Piper McDaniel @Piperamcdaniel]

Emails from business interests to Portland city officials reveal an effort to influence decision-making. Some of these interactions fit into the category of lobbying, while others don’t. Me for @StreetRoots

In recent years the Oregon Department of Corrections failed to list a cause of death for 63% of in-custody deaths. Me for @StreetRoots. https://t.co/iOQa3kcGUn

[Piper McDaniel @Piperamcdaniel]

@Mr_HappyfaceEsq @StreetRoots They can disclose causes without releasing personal information. The reports referenced in the article don't note any personal information-- no age, gender or names. It's a transparency concern when an entity responsible for people's lives doesn't disclose how they are dying.

[Piper McDaniel @Piperamcdaniel]

A senior policy advisor for Commissioner Ryan resigned over the city's plan for mass camps, citing concerns of "irreparable trauma and unnecessary deaths." @StreetRoots https://t.co/THpDTroSxU
