We urge Philz Coffee philzcoffee to reverse this decision and reaffirm its commitment to creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for everyone—especially at locations within our LGBTQ Cultural Districts. We stand with Philz baristas and workers who have spoken out about the importance of maintaining Pride flags in their stores and who have organized a public petition calling for their reinstatement.We encourage community members and allies to support their efforts by signing the petition and making their voices heard.
