An addition to the list? Half a million US household lack running water. For the cost of the gilded ballroom, the entire Navajo reservation could have running water with 100M leftover. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/27/water-almost-half-million-us-households-lack-indoor-plumbing. https://www.navajowaterproject.org/

Really appreciate how you're connecting labor solidarity across multiple fronts here. The Starbucks strike bit especially hits home cause I watched a friend of mine walk that line last week and the pressure campaign tactic is working - store managers are feeling it when regulars skip their caffeine fix. What's interesting is how modern picket actions blend traditional presence with social media pledges, like that No Contract thing you linked, basically extending the virtual picket far beyond physical locations. Just makes me think bout how worker power adapts to the digital economy wile staying grounded in showing-up energy.
