Coca-Cola is as much a part of New York City bodegas as are corn chips and cats. But a trade group representing Latino bodega owners is threatening to boycott Coke products over the company's decision to close a Latin affairs office and some funding decisions the group believes are inequitable.
Axios Re:Cap digs into the possible boycott and what's behind it with Frank Garcia, chair of the National Association of State Latino Chambers of Commerce and a onetime Coke ally, who worked to fight against former Mayor Bloomberg's soda tax.
The country continues to mourn the eight people who were killed in this week’s shootings at three separate spas in the Atlanta area.

Starbucks is something of an avatar for American consumer behavior, reflecting how we spend money and time. If you want to really know when we're post-pandemic, what happens inside a Starbucks is a pretty good barometer.
Axios Re:Cap digs into Starbucks, as it approaches its 50th anniversary, with CEO Kevin Johnson. We ask him about what pandemic changes are permanent, plus its policy plans on everything from masks to employee vaccinations to remote work. Plus, his standard coffee order.
A man has been arrested and charged after a mass shooting at three Atlanta-area spas that killed eight people. Six of the victims were identified as Asian and seven were women.
The gunman told police he had a “sex addiction” and the murders were not racially motivated. But his confession has done nothing to quiet fears and anxieties of Asian Americans.
