Where does the grocery store @Publix stand on @POTUS Trump and law enforcement? Based on our interactions with their DEI specialist "Community Relations Manager" - it seems they've sent a pretty clear message. Just thought you might want to know. We were running a gala called the Big Blue Bash at Mar-A-Lago. It's an annual fundraiser for a 501(c)3 that takes care of the families of wounded and fallen officers. We reached out to Publix to see if they'd be interested in sponsoring it. At the event, we were honoring the heads of all of the federal agencies, high profile veterans, the families of wounded and fallen officers and pro-police celebrities. Our ask was small: Hey, Publix...if you guys aren't in a position to sponsor it, would you be willing to provide perhaps a few sandwich platters or catering for a couple of dozen volunteers at the event (many were law enforcement)? The response from their "community relations manager" (who is also an adjunct professor who LITERALLY teaches DEI)? "Unfortunately, we would not be able to provide food for the volunteers. When we tried to explain just how unique of an opportunity this was to support law enforcement at the home of President Trump for literally pennies.... she finally "generously" offered us ONE $100 gift card "for your auctions". In our followup, we asked Robyn: "Did Publix choose to pass on this opportunity because the event is at Mar a Lago or is it because Publix isn't interested in supporting the men and women who hold the thin blue line? Was this decision made by your marketing team or at the ownership / corporate level?" Crickets. Guess that tells you everything you need to know about DEI activism that seems to be now hitting Publix. Thought you and your neighbors might want to know where it appears they stand. #thinblueline #lawenforcement
