A grassroots movement where restaurants vow to act as “sanctuaries” for immigrants is really picking up steam now that Donald Trump is sitting in the Oval Office. The campaign — called simply the Sanctuary Restaurants Movement and created by two aid groups with strong labor ties, ROC United and Presente.org — launched earlier this month. At that time, the 24 restaurants listed on its website were just “a sample” of the total support. But with the inauguration official, membership has climbed to around 80 restaurants in at least seven states. (The official website has a useful map of all participants.)
