đ¨ Starbucks Is StrugglingâBut They Wonât Admit Why: The Boycott is Working âđ˝đ¨
Profits down. Sales falling. Layoffs coming. But Starbucks and the media wonât tell you the real reason: The global boycott over its complicity in Israelâs genocide is hitting hard.
While mainstream outlets claim the drop is due to âstore congestionâ and âpricing,â they conveniently ignore the millions of pro-Palestine supporters worldwide who have cut Starbucks out of their lives.
Letâs break it down: đ
đ Starbucksâ Profits Are CrashingâAnd Thatâs a WIN for the Boycott
đ° Quarterly profits plunged 23% compared to last year.
đŞ Same-store sales dropped 4% worldwideâthe fourth consecutive quarter of decline.
đ U.S. store traffic fell 6%, showing that customers arenât coming back.
đ¸ China sales are tanking, with a 6% declineâproving the boycott is global.
đ More store closures & layoffs coming, as Starbucks struggles to cut costs.
Theyâre losing money, closing stores, and firing workers. But they still wonât take responsibility for their complicity in genocide.
â Why Starbucks Deserves to FallâAnd Why We Canât Let Up
After over 100 days of Israelâs genocide in Gaza, Starbucks has made its stance crystal clear:
đ¨ October 2023: Starbucks sued its own workersâ union for posting pro-Palestine solidarity messages.
đ¨ December 2023: Starbucks stock hit a 21-month low as boycott campaigns ramped up.
đ¨ January 2025: Despite mass layoffs and marketing tricks, Starbucks still canât recover.
đ¨ Now: CEO Brian Niccol says theyâre âmoving in the right directionâ and hopes youâll forget their role in funding genocide.
But we wonât forget. And we wonât stop.
đ The Media is Hiding the TruthâBut We Know Better
Major outlets like Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and CNBC all reported Starbucks' struggles.
â Did they mention the global boycott? No.
â Did they acknowledge that pro-Palestine activists are a major factor? Nope.
â Did they admit Starbucks has been losing customers due to its support of Israel? Not at all.
Instead, they blame âlong wait timesâ and âpricing.â They want you to think Starbucks is failing for any reason EXCEPT Palestine.
Donât let them rewrite history.
đĽ Boycotts WorkâSo Keep Up the Pressure
This is not the time to break the boycott.
đ¨ No "turnaround" can erase their complicity in genocide.
đ¨ No marketing stunt can undo the deaths of over 50,000 Palestinians.
đ¨ No profit loss is enoughâuntil they are FULLY held accountable.
Every dollar withheld is a statement. Every empty store is a message. Every boycott is a step toward justice.
