Tempe police and the FBI are investigating an alleged bomb threat made toward Brick Road Coffee over the weekend, according to Tempe Mayor Corey Woods.
Brick Road Coffee hosted a"Story Hour" event with a group called Drag Story Hour Arizona over the weekend, which says it promotes inclusiveness in reading materials for children.
Woods said in a statement that a bomb threat was called in by a hate group during the event. ABC15 has reached out to Tempe police to get more details about the threat."This Sunday, I visited one of our local businesses after a bomb threat was called in by a hate group during a drag story hour. Let me be completely clear - no person or group has a right to create chaos and spread hate in our community.
In just a couple of years, the business that was targeted has hosted public forums, raised funds for several non-profits and so much more. Their events are always well-attended, open to everyone and intended to bring people together. This inclusive spirit has led to numerous recognitions and accolades, including Neighborhood Business of the Year after being nominated by Tempe residents due to their incredible local involvement. Just last month, they were honored with an MLK Diversity Award. In addition, they are active in Tempe Leadership.
In Tempe, we celebrate, respect and protect our diverse communities and businesses. We do not tolerate hate toward our LGBTQ community and we stand up for the people and businesses who champion inclusion. My office is committed to advancing and advocating for a community of kindness, compassion, and understanding for everyone."
