Tenants of the Trees, a popular bar in Silver Lake, has recently posted a highly offensive statement as a response to Black Lives Matter. If you’ve heard of Tenants of the Trees, you may be familiar with the allegations several years back of many patrons being roofied by the establishments very own bartenders. Today, we have hundreds of written allegations against Tenants of the Trees for refusing entry to Black and Brown patrons, or charging upwards of $1,000 to attain a “table” for the night, when White patrons are able to walk in clear and free. After reading over 450+ Yelp reviews, most of them confirming POC not being allowed inside or being charged because of their skin color to do so, it is clear that this business is problematic to the community of Silver Lake and should be investigated further. As we all try to educate ourselves in these times of ways to help the fight for racial equality, please think twice about giving your business to these people, and similar bars. Sign this petition and share it with your friends so that we may inform our friends and community, and get the attention from the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council to take action. Please, stop supporting racist businesses.
