Several Bay Area restaurants, including Cosecha and chef Daniel Patterson’s Plum Bar and Locol in Oakland, among others, have joined a list of “sanctuary restaurants.” The movement is a joint effort from ROC United and Presente.org, and urges restaurants to not allow discrimination in their establishments against people based on immigrant or refugee status, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
The group has also issued a “know your rights” document for employers and workers to understand what they can do in the event of a raid or other immigration enforcement action.
