In great solidarity and admiration for the important justice work ROC-DC does for restaurant workers and their family.   Rev. Sam McFerran - (First Congregational UCC Church of Washington)

ROC-DC is building power with restaurant workers in DC to create a more just, dignified and equitable restaurant industry. 

**Background**

ROC-DC has been building power with restaurant workers since 2009. We are a small worker-led organization that utilizes base-building, organizing and worker-led advocacy to move our mission forward. We have a strong focus on community building and leadership development to strengthen our ability as a restaurant worker community to make the changes we want to see in our industry and in DC. ROC-DC is fully independent organization from ROC-United (circa June 2024).  

**Addressing the Current Moment**

ROC-DC has been specifically equipped to support workers during crises, and have provided systems of support, training and mutual aid during the threats of Trump's first presidency, during the COVID-19 pandemic and currently under the federal occupation of Washington, DC that is putting so many of our members and restaurant workers at risk. ROC-DC has not only been providing necessary mutual aid support to our members, but also building out systems where workers can support one another during this time. We have provided comprehensive resources to restaurant owners/management supported members with creating Emergency Family Plans and provided ongoing community  & healing spaces to share resources and stay in community during such a stressful and isolating time.

**Becoming a Donor!**

As a small, independent organization, your donation makes an incredible impact on supporting the longevity, sustainability and capacity of ROC-DC. We encourage supporters to become monthly sustainers to our work. If you would like your donation to be used for a specific program or mutual aid area, please specify! We thank you so much for your care and love for restaurant workers, especially during such a difficult time.

**With solidarity & love,**

**Team ROC-DC! <3**
