The governor’s new law, SB1718, has had a significant impact on Florida’s restaurant industry, causing concerns among undocumented workers and creating difficulties in finding an adequate workforce. Recognizing the adverse effects of SB1718 and the hardships faced by undocumented workers, the FCA has decided to organize a march in West Palm Beach. The march serves as a platform to unite different communities and raise awareness about the rights of all workers, regardless of their immigration status.

The FCA encourages individuals from all walks of life to join the march, showing solidarity with the restaurant industry and underscoring the significance of inclusivity and diversity. By uniting various communities, the demonstration aims to send a powerful message to policymakers and decision-makers, urging them to reconsider the impact of SB1718 on workers and the restaurant industry.
