A portion of that coffee you bought this morning may go towards the American Civil Liberties Union.

Bay Area coffee brands like Blue Bottle, Equator Coffees and Four Barrel have teamed up with Sprudge, a coffee news website, to launch a nationwide fundraiser in response to President Trump’s immigration order.

“We believe that the current executive order banning refugees from the United States and immigration from 7 majority Muslim nations is illegal, immoral, and fundamentally un-American,” Sprudge staff wrote.

Thus far 21 local coffee brands have joined Sprudge’s #RefugeesWelcome #YesEqual campaign. In all 530, coffee shops across the country are expected to participate through the weekend.

For every coffee sold at Blue Bottle a $1 dollar will go towards the ACLU, James Freeman founder of Blue Bottle wrote. The amount each café donates towards the ACLU will vary, Mic.com reports.
