A business that has come out as the maker of the F--- Off ring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) was recently seen sporting in a viral photo said it will be donating all profits from sales of the accessory to a group fighting to raise minimum wage.
In pair of messages posted to Instagram this week, Yellow Owl Workshop said it appreciated the recent attention the senator brought to the ring and said it wanted to put its money towards an organization that is fighting to protect workers and build systemic change.
At Yellow Owl we create fun stuff to express yourself but we are dead serious about social justice. We fully support at least a $15 minimum wage because EQUITY and DIGNITY LOOK GOOD on EVERYONE, the business wrote in the posts.
As a result, the business said it will be donating all profits from sales of the ring for the rest of the month" to National Employment Law Project, which fights to raise the federal minimum wage.
Thank you to all of our customers, including Senator Sinema (D-Arizona) whose dollars allow us to pay well above San Francisco minimum wage and support our small woman-owned business that proudly holds values over profits, the business said.

LeVar Burton Will Guest Host 'Jeopardy!' Fans Are Over the Rainbow.
This is Jeopardy! with your host, LeVar Burton.
After a social media campaign to get Burton, a star of Reading Rainbow and Star Trek: The Next Generation, into a guest-host slot on Jeopardy!, the show announced Wednesday that he would indeed step up in the last week of July.
Our goal has been to present a wide variety of guest hosts with different skill sets and backgrounds on our path to finding a permanent host, the shows executive producer, Mike Richards, said in a statement. Our passionate fans are telling us what they like, and we are listening.
Fans were predictably thrilled.
Butterfly in the sky, Im twice as high about the @levarburton news! one Twitter post read.
But there may have been one person even more excited than Burtons fans: the actor himself.
THANK YOU to all yall for your passionate support! he tweeted.
