Thursday, June 1, 9:30am-1pm
Starbucks, 1085 W. Fifth Ave.

West 5th Starbucks is experiencing anti-LGBTQ+ actions from their manager resulting in making the workers feel incredibly unsafe.  Being that it’s pride month, most stores are installing pride flags.  Which is what west 5th has done but then their manager came in and RIPPED it from the wall and threw it aside crumbled up on a shelf.  When confronted about why he said it was not supported by “corporate” and he didn’t want to get in trouble.  Turns out our friend Jill the District Manager is going to be there tomorrow!  So store leader Shenby and I have discussed organizing a Sip-in during the day to show the workers that the community stands with them and also openly talk to them (and express to management) that Columbus has PRIDE.

Starbucks thinks they can cash in on pride month but still deny queer partners safety at their stores and disrespect them!  We want to show them that Columbus will not stand for hypocrisy!
