After weeks of controversy, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) will not participate in Starbucks’ racial tolerance training.

Politico reports Starbucks spokesperson Jaime Riley said the Jewish organization will not help develop the curriculum for the training. Instead, the organization will take an advisory role.

"We have a lot of amazing advisers, and we also realized this can't be a one-time thing," said Riley. "The training on [May] 29 can't be the beginning and end."

A spokesman for the ADL seemed unsure of the next course of action regarding the project.

“When Starbucks asked for assistance, we agreed to help,” ADL spokesman Todd Gutnick said to Politico. “As to whether Starbucks may or may not now want to utilize our expertise, you should ask them."

Starbucks announced ADL’s participation in the training on April 17 and was met with criticism from activists. Women’s March organizer Tamika Mallory accused the organization of racism against people of color.

“The ADL is CONSTANTLY attacking black and brown people,” Mallory posted on her Twitter page. “This is a sign that they are tone deaf and not committed to addressing the concerns of black folk.”

Cat Brooks, co-founder of Anti Police-Terror Project, expressed a similar sentiment and criticized the ADL’s support of Israel.

“You can't be a piece of an anti-bias training when you openly support a racist, oppressive and brutal colonization of Palestine,” she told ABC News.

Starbucks will close 8,000 of its stores on May 29 for racial tolerance training following the highly publicized arrest of two black men in one of its Philly locations.
