Several Dallas area restaurants and bars are finding it difficult to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday after the recent ruling handed down by the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade.
Restaurants and bars that are part of This and That Hospitality will donate 20% of revenue to the Whole Women's Health Alliance.Brandon Hays has been in the local restaurant business since he took an ownership stake in Sfuzzi in 2009. He has a 2-year-old daughter, and his wife is pregnant. He wants to be able to tell his daughter that he did something after this landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade was handed down.
"This affects women unilaterally. To me, this isn't a political issue it's a human rights issue," Hays told the."We don't need the Supreme Court to say that men can't decide what to do their bodies, but apparently we do for women. Ultimately, we just believe women should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies, it's just as simple as that."
The one actionable thing Hays felt he and This and That Hospitality group could do is to raise funds for a nonprofit. Whole Women's Health Alliance is committed to providing holistic reproductive care for women, including abortion care and advocacy to eradicate abortion stigma.Hays says that historically 20% is a great margin in the restaurant industry and will likely be the entirety of the profits they'll see over the time period of June 27 to July 3.
"This is simple," Hays says."It's not a soapbox for us, it's how can we support women with the resources we have.", it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
