Starbucks on Friday said it will allow employees to wear clothing that supports the Black Lives Matter protest movement.

“We see you. We hear you. Black Lives Matter. That is a fact and will never change,” Starbucks said in a statement after a report revealed the existence of a memo to Starbucks employees that they cannot wear Black Lives Matter shirts and pins while on the job.
