The Zioness Movement is shocked and disturbed by Starbucks' decision to drop the @ADL_National from leading its upcoming anti-bias training. With this decision, @Starbucks has capitulated
(2/6) to calls by individuals who have repeatedly endorsed anti-Semitic views. What a painful irony that, in their attempt to combat racial stereotyping, Starbucks has given in to purveyors of other hatreds.

The @ADL_National has been on the front lines of civil rights advocacy and anti-bias work for more than 100 years and is uniquely qualified to
(6/6) provide trainings on white supremacy, implicit bias and divisive stereotyping, helping to build stronger, more open and welcoming communities. We call on @Starbucks to stand up to hatred and bigotry, and reinstate the @ADL_National as a leading partner in this conversation.
