We are so grateful for your signatures and shares--please keep it up! Your support means so much, and it helps make our voices much louder!

We have heard back from a few legislators and are following up with others who haven't yet responded. We hope/plan to have meetings with elected leaders at the local, state and national level this week with representatives of Philadelphia restaurants of various sizes and formats (fast-casual, dine-in, etc.)  so we can move our agenda forward and help our teams and our city. We will keep you updated as much as possible! 

Our coalition and petition has garnered a lot of coverage in the Philadelphia media, which is leading more restauranteurs to join our movement, and we expect, helping to get busy legislators to make this a priority, so THANK YOU! Please continue to support us by ordering delivery, takeout, and buying gift cards, if you are able to. Our goal is to keep as many members of our teams safe and employed, and to still be here for our community now and when this crisis is over.
