Stand-in at Starbucks

Has anyone organized "stand-ins" at Starbucks to protest the arrest of the two men standing-while-black? Maybe a flash mob or just a simple rotating protests in large numbers or duration?

They fired the manager, they have apologized, and they shut stores for training.

I expect they will come up with a reasonable financial settlement.

The issue should be dead by now.
