Maker of Sinema's viral 'f--- off' ring donating profits to group fighting to raise minimum wage

Source: The Hill

A business that has come out as the maker of the "F--- Off" ring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) was recently seen sporting in a viral photo said it will be donating all profits from sales of the accessory to a group fighting to raise minimum wage.

In pair of messages posted to Instagram this week, Yellow Owl Workshop said it appreciated the recent attention the senator brought to the ring and said it wanted to put its money "towards an organization that is fighting to protect workers and build systemic change."

"At Yellow Owl we create fun stuff to express yourself but we are dead serious about social justice. We fully support at least a $15 minimum wage because EQUITY and DIGNITY LOOK GOOD on EVERYONE," the business wrote in the posts.

As a result, the business said it will be donating all profits from sales of the ring "for the rest of the month" to National Employment Law Project, which fights to raise the federal minimum wage.

on both sides of the aisle and in the media. I haven't seen anything indicating that it goes any deeper than that.

For someone who struggled a lot throughout her life and who was even homeless at one point in her life, she sure has a short memory.
I feel like she is fighting for the little guy enough.

I've seen enough times where people start thinking they earned their way because of only their own actions, vs I am lucky and with the help of others I was able to create a success.
