Cocktails for La Causa
Sponsored by
THE CITY OF BERKELEY
Friday, May 5, 2017
In Bay Area Restaurants & Bars
On Cinco de Mayo, restaurants throughout Berkeley and other Bay Area sanctuary cities take part in “Cocktails for La Causa” to raise awareness of deportation and immigration issues and support local organizations providing legal defense. Funds collected from the sale of food or drink specifically created for this event will be donated equally between Centro Legal de la Raza (acting as the fiscal agent), the East Bay Community Law Center, and the Multicultural Institute.
Berkeley became a City of Refuge in 1971; in 2007 it reaffirmed this status in response to an increase in I.C.E. raids throughout the Bay Area; and in 2016, it again reaffirmed itself a sanctuary city in response to the election of Donald Trump and his anti-immigration policies. Berkeley is now leading efforts in the Bay Area to support its undocumented residents.
Come out to support and enjoy
Thanks so much to all of these establishments for helping to support the Bay Area's sanctuary movement to aide undocumented residents in the current political climate. We encourage you to support them with your patronage. Check back for additions to the list.
