Today is the national strike, and we want to say clearly: we stand in solidarity.
As a small business - and a vital third space - we aren’t able to close. Fridays are essential for us, both financially and communally. We will always be a gathering place that is safe, accessible, welcoming, and rooted in care. Fridays in particular are a time when families gather, kids make friends, and neighbors build relationships beyond home and work. Keeping our doors open is one of the ways we show up for our community, especially in hard moments.
How we’re participating today:
We always center local, independent, and underrepresented producers, but today we’re taking that commitment a step further. Our menu features ONLY those partners — no large corporations, no national distributors. Every dollar spent with us today stays in our local economy and supports real people in our extended community.
We’re also introducing a new cocktail, the ICE Melt — a call to get ICE out of our communities and a way to materially support those most impacted. A portion of proceeds from every ICE Melt sold today will be donated to RISE (Roslindale Is For Everyone) to support local immigrant families.
Solidarity can look like many things. Sometimes it’s protest. Sometimes it’s redistribution of resources, intentional choices, and holding space for one another. We’re grateful to be in this with you. Thank you for being here.
