Seattle restaurants and bars serving up support for immigrant rights

Seattle's vibrant food scene is stepping up this weekend to advocate for immigrant rights, with over 150 local businesses participating in a fundraiser aimed at supporting affected communities. This initiative is a direct response to the Trump Administration's crackdown on immigration, which has sparked widespread protests nationwide. Notable venues like Life on Mars are donating a dollar from each cocktail sold, specifically the “I Never Loved You” cocktail, to the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. Other Coast Café is similarly contributing by donating a dollar from every sandwich sold to multiple organizations supporting immigrant rights. Bartenders and managers express their pride in being part of this community effort, emphasizing the invaluable contributions of immigrants across all sectors, particularly in the service industry.

Customer reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, reflecting a shared commitment to supporting immigrant communities during these tumultuous times. The fundraiser is set to run through Sunday, inviting diners to enjoy good food and drink while making a meaningful impact. This collaborative effort showcases the strength of community solidarity in advocating for social justice and immigrant rights.
