No hyperbole here: We are all teetering. No one is exempt. If we lose our city’s best restaurants (as we did with beloved @Blackbird_Chi this week), it erodes our attraction as a world class city. If we lose our neighborhood restaurants, it erodes the very fabric of our lives.

According to a new survey from @beardfoundation, 4 out of 5 restaurant owners remain uncertain they can reopen once the pandemic passes. If it wasn’t clear before, it is certainly clear now: PPP DOES NOT WORK for independent restaurants. #SaveRestaurants saverestaurants.com/news-ite…

America's response to the coronavirus is the worst in the world, which is shocking and has a lot to do with a leader who is completely unfit, temperamentally and intellectually, for the job 1/

Restaurants are biggest 🇺🇸 employer after govt. 15m workers + farmers, suppliers, delivery drivers. Congress and WH must keep the industry functioning to feed first responders, hospitals, elderly, &vulnerable. Thx for your leadership @tomcolicchio @IndpRestaurants @ChrisVanHollen

I just paid February’s sales and meals tax, and I have $0.66 left in our restaurant account. I’ll be using money my family has been squirreling away for my daughters college fund to restart things. Wondering if that makes me a monster. Tax deferment could have been something.

They can come and get it if they want but I won’t pay anyone that demands I shut down with zero plan of action. The restaurant community will only survive this if we do things differently. I will not conform to rules that at this point make ZERO SENSE.

Nationally and locally there are funds being created to assist employees and now political action groups being mobilized to ensure representation for a stimulus bill. Can a media outlet organize all the efforts so we don’t create overlap. We need solidarity more than ever ✊🏼
