A joint collaboration of ROC United (Restaurant Opportunity Centers) and Presente.org (a prominent national Latinx online organization), with participation by eateries, the Sanctuary Restaurants movement offers support and resources to restaurant workers, employers and consumers impacted by the hostile policies and actions of our current presidential administration. In a statement for ROC United, Co-founder and Co-director Saru Jayaraman stated that, “We are launching Sanctuary Restaurants because restaurant workers are on the front lines of discrimination and hate in America and Sanctuary Restaurants seeks to create the world we want — establishments free from hate and discrimination.”
