The founder of the Greek yogurt company Chobani, Hamdi Ulukaya, has faced not just threats of boycott but also racial slurs and death threats. Why? Because Ulukaya has employed over 300 refugees fleeing violence in the Middle East as well as creating the Tent Foundation, a charity dedicated to promoting cooperation between businesses and organizations to effect immediate changes to help refugees.
With this particularly toxic political season, anti-Muslim and xenophobic sentiments have become mainstream -- meaning humanitarian activities like those performed by Ulukaya have engendered vicious responses.
Though angry, hateful voices may sometimes shout over those from reasonable, compassionate individuals, this petition aims to express gratitude to Ulukaya and Chobani for taking active steps to help some of the most vulnerable and needy individuals in the world today. Please add your name as a way of saying thank you!
