Starbucks has responded to Trump’s immigration ban by promising to hire more refugees. President Trump signed an executive order on Friday that stops the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the United States and bans immigrants and refugees from seven Muslim-majority nations (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen) for 90 days. Protesters have gathered at airports around the country, lawmakers have spoken out against the order, and CEOs of major companies have vocalized their disapproval.
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz went beyond merely not condoning the immigration ban by vowing to hire 10,000 refugees around the globe over the next five years. Shultz outlined this plan and more in a message to all partners this past Sunday.
