New data from @indprestaurants shows a dire situation for restaurants and caterers. The Senate must take action to #ReplenishRRF so that we can continue to stay open and serve our communities. Pick up the phone and call your senators at 202-224-3121 to urge them... Vote YES!

Restaurants are dying everywhere. Congress has failed to provide the lifeline they promised to 2/3s of restaurants in the USA🇺🇸 The government shut us down and is refusing to compensate for our billions in losses-which go directly back into our economy RT to support #ReplenishRRF

Nearly 30 groups in our industry have come together to call on Congress to take urgent action and #ReplenishRRF NOW. Restaurants help support over 5 million employees with their businesses — we know how important the RRF is. Make sure your reps hear from you: (202) 224-3121.
