Add Your Name: Support More RRF Funding

Congress passed legislation creating a $28.6 billion recovery fund aimed at our nation’s struggling restaurant industry – a sector that has lost more jobs and more revenue than any other during the pandemic. 

On May 3, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) began accepting applications. In the first 36 hours, more than 186,000 applications had been submitted, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the first 16,000 applications had been funded with $2 billion. At this rate, the SBA will run out after the first two days of applications.

And that means hundreds of thousands of restaurants, bars, food trucks, and everything in between will be left waiting.

We are urging policymakers in Washington – from the White House to Capitol Hill – to replenish the RRF to maximize relief for small independent and franchise restaurant operators. Americans can’t wait to get back into their favorite restaurant with their family and friends, and the federal government can play a key role in making that a reality.

To amplify this effort, sign this petition calling on federal leaders to act now! Add your name to show your support of the restaurant industry.
