Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

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.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Bring Back the Hare to Rawtenstall A majestic, corten steel hare sculpture at the centre of Rawtenstall, promoting ecology, tourism, education, and folklore. A new visitor destination, and a new focus for pride of place in Rossendale.

Weโ€™ve just heard that Lancashire Arts & Community Fund have awarded nearly ยฃ10,000 toward this, so weโ€™re now over halfway towards reaching our target!

Visited Leicesterโ€™s Art Gallery a few days ago, and was astonished with their huge and impressive collection of German Expressionist art. Worth a visit if youโ€™re nearby, or even if not!
