Houston Restaurants Close to Support Protesters, Honor George Floyd | Eater Houston

"I saw that Postino Wine Cafe announced it would close its Montrose and Heights locations in Houston today (along with 13 other restaurants across three states). Upward Projects CEO Lauren Bailey wrote, “This is a letter that I should have written years ago - long before the lost lives of Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and countless Black lives that were stolen,” affirmed the company’s mantra “Everyone is Welcome,” said they do not tolerate racism, explained the closure would allow employees time to participate in demonstrations, and announced donations to the NAACP, Black Lives Matter and the Equal Justice Initiative." - Brittanie Shey
