And...you guys said nothing? 

Starbucks posted support about blm on social and donated a sum to it . They’ve also had discussions about it like pretty much every day. They’re working on a shirt for baristas to wear to show support , like they do with pride ... not sure the outrage .... Starbucks baristas can’t wear clothes with words on it that isn’t Starbucks branded . So they’re designing a shirt for baristas !

They actually changed it and said we can wear shirts that say black lives matter. So....#notcancelled #theyheardus #theyrespectus

You can’t blame them for making a honest mistake and trying to keep their partners safe

If this is true then I love this!

I do fear for employee's safety though. You'll inevitably have some racist take offense and possibly incite violence.

Honesty I feel it commercializes the movement when brands get involved like producing their own t shirts. 
 

it’s like “oh we support you! But do it in OUR way by wearing this T-shirt we designed that is not too offensive but still a little shout out like hey we still support! So keep buying our coffee!” If you are afraid your employees would express something offensive or something you have no control over, I think laying down guidelines for handmade stuff like shirts need to be black or lettering can’t contain profanity. I just think it’s stupid to produce a shirt when it’s about letting the people’s voices be heard not under a corporate’s. Again it’s about power to the people not the higher ups!
