thanks @POPSUGAR for giving our co-founders space to share our perspective on SB 202, and why it's so cruel. popsugar.com/news/why-sb202-…
we've been asked today how #SB202 changes our mission or our work. and to that, we would remind the world that during the Civil Rights Movement, regular people sat at restaurant counters to declare what they believed to be right, even in the face of racist laws.
just because something is illegal, doesn't make it wrong. providing someone with a snack, drink, chair of even a meal when they are standing in hours-long lines (that disproportionately impact minorities) should not be a legal issue. it is our obligation to aid others in need.
this will not stop us; if anything, we are more fired up to fight for all voices to be heard. #SB202 #votersuppression #georgia55project #savethevote #fairfight2020 #snackbrigade #snackingisnotacrime
