Protest cookies selling out fast
The first day they only sold 150 cookies across three locations. By Wednesday, they raised the supply to 300.
Whitney Spence, a regular at Devil’s Teeth, took one bite and said the cookie “tastes like democracy.”
“I’m happy to support businesses that say ‘hey, you are harming the people of our community,'” Spence said.
“I was a long-time VA employee. That was my career, so that made it much more personal for me,” Rosenthal said. “(Selling these cookies) will bring me back just that much more to this business.”
“I love it, it’s great to see that everyone’s coming together,” loyal customer Mia Photenhauer said.
“It’s important that I show my kids, even if it’s just making a cookie, you have to stand up for what you believe in,” Passman said.
“The first thing she said was that her hands were very cramped and sore from writing the F word hundreds of times last night,” Passman said.
Cookies stand in stark contrast to the protests around corporations and big retailers, which many activists have boycotted for working with ICE.
“This is not how this country is supposed to be,” Spence said. “We have some of the largest organizations, corporations out there [in the greater Bay Area]. What are they doing? They have incredible economic power.”
The other side:
Passman isn’t dwelling on those comments though.
What’s next:
“We’re going to keep doing this as long as ICE is killing people,” she said.
