Recently, the upper management of Shopify seems to be increasingly concerned with espousing non-diversity, non-immigration, non-inclusive policies, and broadcasting these views to the world. This is extremely concerning. My customer base is a well-informed and inclusive community, and I’m worried that I will face backlash by being associated with a group of young, extremist CEO’s who seem more concerned with aligning themselves with Trump than running a business. I’m wondering if anyone else is sharing these concerns, what action you are taking, and what you’d recommend.

I think that’s totally fair and I am worried about the same as I do not want to support a company that holds these beliefs. I’ll be reaching out to Shopify with my concerns and I hope many others do the same.
