Just as we send this type of messages together, we have to do a lot more during the year, supporting each other through events and projects every day! “

The restaurant is usually closed on Monday, but to show them in accordance with the one -day protest, they were also stopped on Sunday.

Torrero restaurants posted on Sunday that he and Bull restaurant in Quincy will also be closed.

“Lord, through your grace, so that we can imitate your love and show true compassion, supporting each other; we know that in your glory it doesn’t matter color or race; give us the wisdom to move forward in those bad times. Our hearts, so that we can offer hospitality to all who seek a breath of hope, “the message said.

Mexican restaurant La Tiendita and El Jalisco in North Monroe appear to be closed to mark the movement.
