New York (CNN Business)Starbucks is reversing its position that had prohibited employees from wearing paraphernalia, such as T-shirts or pins, supporting the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Although the company publicly supports "Black Lives Matter" on its social media channels and in a press release, an internal memo to employees obtained by BuzzFeed News earlier this week explains that Starbucks wouldn't let baristas do the same. But on Friday, Starbucks reversed its stance, saying they can wear a "Black Lives Matter" T-shirt or pin until new branded shirts are delivered to 200,000 employees that includes the phrase.
"This movement is a catalyst for change, and right now, it's telling us a lot of things need to be addressed so we can make space to heal," Starbucks said in a publicly shared letter to employees announcing the new T-shirt design.
In a new statement Friday, Starbucks said it's "critical to support the 'Black Lives Matter' movement as its founders intended and will continue to work closely with community leaders, civil rights leaders, organizations, and our partners to understand the role that Starbucks can play, and to show up in a positive way for our communities."
In an earlier memo, Starbucks said it won't allow employees to wear "Black Lives Matter" material because "there are agitators who misconstrue the fundamental principals of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement -- and in certain circumstances, intentionally repurpose them to amplify divisiveness."

Yeah this isn't clear whether they'll be giving these t-shirts to employees or selling them. I'm not clapping.
