This Toolkit is a practical, community-informed resource designed to help restaurants and bars protect their workers in moments of heightened ICE activity. Built from strategies shared at CHAAD’s citywide town hall in the fall of 2025, the guide outlines clear steps for safety planning, internal communication, rapid-response coordination, and employee support. It equips hospitality workplaces with the tools, protocols, and neighborhood networks needed to keep staff safe, strengthen collective defense, and ensure our industry stands united in caring for the people who make it run.
