| [Breitbart] Starbucks Coffee Company will now allow its partners to wear Black Lives Matter (BLM) shirts and other accessories, the company announced Friday. "In response to this historic time, our store partners can also show support for the Black Lives Matter movement with their own t-shirts, pins and name tags," Starbucks tweeted: In a letter to employees, the company said it was responding to their requests to be allowed to express themselves at work. "We see you. We hear you. Black Lives Matter. That is a fact and will never change. This movement is a catalyst for change, and right now, it’s telling us a lot of things need to be addressed so we can make space to heal," the document read. |
