The false claims stem from Starbucks providing coffee to first responders at the RNC through a partnership with a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization.
Recent social media posts suggest people should boycott Starbucks because they claim the company is backing The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and its Project 2025 initiative.
Project 2025’s goal is to provide a roadmap for the next conservative president to transform the government in favor of conservative social policies and ideals.
Some online posts also claim Starbucks joined The Heritage Foundation as an official sponsor of the 2024 Republican National Convention, which was held in Milwaukee in mid-July.
