Food is important and represents a common language and universal right. GOOD, CLEAN and FAIR Food for ALL!

Slow Food DFW, a chapter of Slow Food USA, envisions a world in which all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet. Seeking to create dramatic and lasting changes in the food system, Slow Food USA reconnects Americans with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and waters that produce our food. We inspire individuals and communities to change the world through food that is good, clean and fair for all.

Chef Sean Sherman calls for ICE to leave Minnesota in effort to preserve American food system

Thankful for his voice to push for change! The Sioux Chef

Chef Sean Sherman calls for ICE to leave Minnesota in effort to preserve American food system A leading voice in the Minneapolis community is in Washington D.C. to call on Congress to protect the American food system as ICE’s presence impacts staffing and customers in restaurants.

The James Beard Foundation put out a call to action this week, urging people in the restaurant industry to contact members of Congress about the impact immigration enforcement is having on the nation’s restaurant industry.

“Restaurants are facing an unprecedented crisis,” the @beardfoundation said in an Instagram post. “In communities across the nation, aggressive, untargeted, and often armed enforcement action are fueling chaos, harming our employees, and devastating our industry.”

In communities where 40% or more of the population is Hispanic, restaurant sales are dropping, said Texas Restaurant Association president and CEO Emily Williams Knight.

According to the association, 22% of the state’s foodservice workforce is made up of immigrants. The meat processing industry has an even higher percentage.

As farmers, we witness the hands that sustain our food system. Farm workers—66% of them being immigrants—carry the heaviest, most essential labor on our farms. Their work is the very foundation on which everything else rests.

Farm workers continue to face low pay, limited protections, inadequate housing, and the constant threat of harassment or retaliation. As immigration enforcement spreads, fear becomes part of the workday. It is wielded to control the hands and hearts that feed this country.

We reject the idea that immigrant farm workers are replaceable or disposable.

Farming does not exist apart from the people who do the work. The health of our farms, our communities, and our food system are bound together. When workers are forced to live and labor in fear, the entire system is harmed.

We demand a food system where everyone who contributes to it can live with dignity and security. That future depends on recognizing our shared stake - and taking collective action to bring it into being.

Action Steps and Resources:
Sharing a few trusted resources and groups doing powerful work around immigrant justice and ICE response in our region and beyond. For folks in the Capital District, follow @518crsc for updates, resources, and ways to get connected locally. In the Hudson Valley and NY region, we also uplift Columbia County Sanctuary Movement, local ICE watch groups (including Kingston), and organizing efforts like For The Many.

Getting plugged into local organizing—even 1–2 hours a week—can make a real difference and strengthen our collective capacity.

If you have trusted resources or groups to share, drop them in the comments so we can build collective knowledge together.
