On this episode of Perspectives, we sat down with Erika Polmar, the Executive Director of the Independent Restaurant Coalition. The IRC is fighting to get relief for independent restaurants and bars who have been affected by government mandated closures due to COVID-19. With one round of funding behind us in 2020, two-thirds of independently owned restaurants and bars never received a dollar. Many of those are facing eviction notices, bankruptcy and permanent closure. You are needed more than ever to help your communities local businesses to survive. You wont want to miss this episode of Perspectives.

At the 8:40 mark I refer to the Restaurant Relief Fund as the RFF, when its proper name is the RRF.

More about the Independent Restaurant Coalition (From Saverestaurants.com)
The restaurant and bar community formed the Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC) to save the independent restaurants and bars and the 11 million people we employ — and the 5 million workers up and down the supply chain — who are affected by COVID-19. The IRC was founded on the simple belief that our small businesses have the power to affect legislative change if we unite our voices.

Our purpose is to build a sustainable future for independent restaurateurs, their employees, and the communities they support. Being independent shouldn’t mean being alone. We believe independent restaurateurs deserve a voice that’s heard, collaborators who care, a roadmap to resources, and the potential for profit. To do this work, we engage inclusively, collaborate generously, educate tirelessly, and advocate loudly.

Over the course of the last year we have developed into a nonprofit corporation applying for tax-exempt recognition under Section(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code.
