All. Please ORDER FROM GRUBHUB this weekend and post to your social media accounts.
Right-wingers are calling for a GrubHub boycott because the CEO compassionately said he wouldn't support Trump-like intolerance at the company. He invited those who disagreed to resign; Trump-Twisters doctored that into “he told everyone who voted for Trump to resign.” See partial quote below; full email text is in my earlier link.
I am so proud and thankful for this man. And I cannot stand for his company to be punished by right-wing bullies because he wanted his staff to know they are safe and valued. Please do not let their rage and hate be further validated in any way. They cannot hurt this company if good people support it in droves.
Let us please not let GrubHub be added to the list of good folks who were taken out by right-wing lies about what they did or said. ENOUGH.

Please share on your own timelines, everyone. PLEASE.
Also, here is part of the original email from the GrubHub CEO that sparked the right-wing boycott outcry:
We have worked for years cultivating a culture of support and inclusiveness. I firmly believe that we must bring together different perspectives to continue innovating - including all genders, races, ethnicities and sexual, cultural or ideological preferences. We are better, faster and stronger together.
Further I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can. As we all try to understand what this vote means to us, I want to affirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States.
If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here. We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team.I want to repeat what Hillary said this morning, that the new administration deserves our open minds and a chance to lead, but never stop believing that the fight for what's right is worth it.
Stay strong, Matt
Thank you, Matt. We need this today and always in our country.
Let’s show strength in numbers, strength in tolerance, strength in togetherness and visibly support GrubHub this weekend. Thank you!
