Activist chef, and the brilliant mind [and taste buds] behind DC gem Beuchert’s Saloon, Andrew Markert is at it again. With Forks Up Walls Down just over a week away, on Sunday, September 17th, plans are well underway for a night of delicious food and drink all to benefit those who are in need most.
We can band together to help enact a change.
Yes, you.
CAIR Coalition
Reaching out to CAIR Coalition, Forks Up Walls Down will support this local DC NPO. They give assistance to many of those in need through legal aid- for children as young as 11 and adults seeking asylum in the United States. They also help families stay together and out of harm’s way. With your help, the donation potential is limitless, as well as the opportunity to bring more awareness to this fight.

Andrew’s involvement in community events have ranged from No Kid Hungry to ALL IN SERVICE DC which celebrates DC’s diversity by giving back to local organizations that keep our community thriving.
Oh how I wish I was in the area to attend this event! This sounds like such a fun time and for such a great cause.

It’s so cool that this business supports organizations like CAIR. The “Forks Up Walls Down” event should be great.

Thanks!
The “Forks Up Walls Down” event should be a huge fund raiser. Wish I could attend and try the food.
I hear that!
People are multi-faceted. It’s wonderful when they can showcase all of their passions together. These talented chefs also offer so much in the world of activism.
They really, truly do.
Sounds like such a great event for a good cause and with good food, also that group photo is such a great one.

An amazing group of people!
Nothing is worse than a family torn apart. I think this is a great mission to get behind!
Boom! Exactly! No one should ever have to choose safety or family. We can all do something with what we’ve got- just like these chefs!
