A Publix supermarket boycott is gaining momentum after it was reported that Julie Jenkins Fancelli, a member of the billionaire family that founded the grocery chain, donated to the rally that preceded the riots at the United States Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Fancelli donated $300,000 to help finance the bulk of former President Donald Trump s Stop the Steal rally, which kicked off what would become a deadly and unprecedented day in U.S. history. The donation was first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Jan. 30. On Monday, The Guardian reported that many fans of the supermarket and its beloved subs were vowing to shop somewhere else.
