Dear Friends,
Take action with the Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York (ROC-NY) as workers continue their struggle for racial and economic justice at The Capital Grille.

For over a year, workers at The Capital Grille have been organizing to change conditions in their workplace, alleging racial discrimination and wage theft, in addition to experiencing other exploitative conditions. Meanwhile, parent company, Darden Restaurants (which also owns Red Lobster and Olive Garden) pulled in over $700 million in profits just last year!
