I got an email from someone at Brave New Films regarding Starbucks, unions and twitter. Just passing it along:
Hi Mark, hope you’re doing well. I thought you might be interested in our latest action here at Brave New Films. We launched StopStarbucks.com a campaign to uncover anti-union practices at the company. We made sure we launched on the eve of Starbuck’s much publicized Twitter Photo Hunt Competition.
We also launched a video which got 22,000 views in one single day. The Stop Starbucks video asks also that viewers sign an online petition that will be delivered to CEO Howard Schultz in the next two weeks. Roughly 10,000 signatures were gathered on a single day.
Obviously, this is a brand new level of activism through twitter and beyond.
