San Francisco Restaurants Donate Proceeds to Civil Justice and Police Reform Efforts
A list of SF restaurants that are dedicating funds to fight racial inequality.
The death of George Floyd, allegedly at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, has sparked a renewed effort to reform the systemic inequality of the American police, court, and incarceration systems — an effort manifested by protest actions across the country, social media movements like Blackout Tuesday, and fundraising and donation drives for groups dedicated to fighting oppression.
Bay Area restaurateurs are doing their part, approaching the issue from several fronts, with some closing down to honor protest events; and others promising donations from specific sales, overall proceeds, and even their own salaries. Here’s a list of San Francisco restaurants that are dedicating funds to civil justice efforts — if you see others that should be added, please drop us a line.
Flour + Water Pizzeria: The Valencia Street restaurant will delay its planned reopening on June 3 “to allow the George Floyd Solidarity Protest happening at 4 p.m. in the neighborhood that day to take center stage.” When it reopens on June 4, it will donate “a portion of our proceeds” to Alive & Free, a San Francisco-based violence prevention organization.
