Rally to support Whole Foods workers in the Fresh Pond store and nationwide who have been disciplined and sent home without pay for wearing #BlackLivesMatter attire on the job. Whole Foods claims to support racial justice and says it's enforcing a neutral dress-code policy. However employees were allowed to wear masks and buttons with other messages - just not "Black Lives Matter" which was deemed "too controversial." Employees have filed a class-action lawsuit against the company alleging discrimination and retaliation. Come show your support and demand that Whole Foods walk its talk on racial justice!
