Hold Amazon, Starbucks, and Trader Joe's accountable.

Imagine being forced to listen to anti-union propaganda at work. This is the reality at Amazon, Starbucks, and Trader Joe’s. [Democracy for America Advocacy Fund](#) {NAME}, Employees at Amazon, Starbucks, and Trader Joe’s are being forced to attend meetings where they are bombarded with anti-union rhetoric. These captive audience meetings are not just unethical, they are an assault on workers' rights and freedom of speech. At Amazon, employees report being subjected to relentless anti-union messaging, painting a picture of a company more interested in stifling workers’ voices than listening to them. Similarly, Starbucks, a brand that prides itself on progressive values, is shamelessly employing these tactics to keep its baristas from unionizing. And Trader Joe’s, often lauded for its employee-friendly environment, is no different when it comes to employing these coercive strategies. These meetings are not just a violation of workers' autonomy; they are a reflection of corporate fear and insecurity. By resorting to such tactics, these companies are acknowledging the power and legitimacy of unionization -- a right that is fundamental to our democracy and crucial for ensuring fair working conditions. With six states already enacting legislation to ban captive audience meetings, we need to take this movement nationwide! [We can’t allow these corporations to continue infringing on workers' rights to organize. Make it clear to your governor that they must abolish captive audience meetings.]( [Add Your Name]( The importance of state action cannot be overstated. By banning these meetings, states can safeguard the freedom of workers to make informed decisions without undue influence or intimidation. States can also ensure that the workplace remains a space for fair and transparent communication, not for corporate propaganda. This is essential not just for the health of our labor force but for the integrity of our democratic principles. That’s why our fight goes beyond just protecting workers at Amazon, Starbucks, and Trader Joe’s. It's about safeguarding the fundamental rights of all workers, ensuring they have a fair and unimpeded opportunity to make their voices heard, free from corporate intimidation and manipulation. We cannot allow the rights of workers to be trampled by those who prioritize profits over people. We must act to abolish captive audience meetings and defend the rights of workers across the nation. [Take a stand for workers’ rights and show corporations that we will not tolerate their attempts to undermine the collective power of their employees by telling your governor to abolish captive audience meetings now.]( Let’s keep pushing for a workplace where the dignity and rights of every worker are respected and upheld. - Amanda Amanda Ford, Director Democracy for America Advocacy Fund [Power This Campaign]( Democracy for America Advocacy Fund is a 501c4 organization.
