Dear Starbucks,

Please refund me the $30.67 that is remaining on my Starbucks card ending 3567. It is unacceptable to me that you find that Black Lives Matter is not important. I will use that money to support the movement. It is even more alarming that you believe by being in solidarity will incite violence. Perhaps you should survey your employees and ask them “How many of you have been stopped for being Black on the way home from work?”

Mayor Bowser of Washington DC changed the name of the plaza in front of the White House to Black Lives Matter Way. You need to learn from her actions You are either an ally or not. If you can honor Gay Pride month then you can stand as an ally for the brutal treatment of black and brown people in America.
