In January, SBWU allies took part in civil disobedience for the 1st time.

To reflect upon this tactic's legacy, and how it has helped workers & social movements win, we're hosting a teach-in on February 25th!

Starbucks could give every one of its 402,000 employees a $4700 bonus check and still keep $1,892,000,000 in net income this year. Instead they raised prices for no reason and are actively engaging in union busting. Get your coffee somewhere else.

If you grew up in a home where your family felt like familiar strangers, you might be love-starved.

You might move fast and accept breadcrumbs for love.

Here's Why:

3. Don't make people walk on eggshells: being highly reactive can cause people to fear coming to you. Take deep breaths when you feel uncomfortable. Tell yourself "I am safe." Mature people don't use reactivity to avoid situations.

Normalize seeing someones lack of effort as their lack of interest in you. If they wanted to talk to you, they would. If they wanted to be with you, they would. If they wanted to make it work, they would. You deserve someone who puts in effort & thinks youre too important to lose

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Starbucks has continued to do everything possible to not bargain with workers. But time is up, @Starbucks. The time to negotiate is now. https://t.co/bfeLPxQpXt

It’s a “watch your boss squirm as they try to give you corrective action for being late once in 3 months knowing you know they’ve been late every day this week and 3/5 days the week before” kind of day. You know? #Retail #badboss #barista #LeadingTheWay

Triggers Are Your Teachers.

A Guide To Working Through Your Emotional Triggers:

Step 1: Identify Your Triggers: when you have a strong emotional reaction pause and notice it. Adrenaline will rush through your body, just feel it. Allow it.

Step 2: Have The Courage To Look: don't distract yourself or react to it. Learn from it. Journal about what you were thinking or feeling and, you will notice patterns (ex: I am emotionally reactive when I feel like I'm being ignored, or not seen)

Step 3: Self Soothe:
"I am safe"
"I can do difficult things"
"It's ok for me to make mistakes"
Soothing ourselves through a compassionate inner narrative allows the emotional response to pass.

Step 4: Set Boundaries: let's say a trigger for you is feeling not good enough from growing up in a critical home. A friend jokingly calls you an idiot.

Set a boundary: "I know you're joking, and I just don't like being called an idiot even in a joking way.

The more you practice, the more in control you'll feel when triggered.

You'll develop self trust and confidence.

Someone didn't like what she was doing and salted her garden so she won't be able to grow anything anymore.

Confrontation is overwhelming for people, which is why we avoid it. But, without confronting issues, those issues will only continue.

How to Have a Healthy Confrontation:

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

How to repair after conflict:
1. Make sure you’re in a calm, regulated state
2. Speak in “I” statements, not you. (I feel hurt when... rather than you always so x”
3. Listen, don’t interrupt
4. Take a break if you need one (just communicate that)
5. Validate their perspective even if you don’t agree
6. Own your role (apologize of needed)
7. Affirm your love or care
