After Thursday’s nationwide Day Without Immigrants protest, Portland restaurant owners and chefs are joining together this weekend for a campaign they are calling “Immigrants Welcome.”

The idea was the brainchild of Andy Ricker, owner of Pok Pok, who told KGW, “There’s a bit of an atmosphere of intolerance and potentially worse than that right now.”

“We just wanted to do something,” Ricker added. “These are folks I’ve worked with my whole life in the industry and will continue to do so forever.”

So Ricker sent out an email and now, a growing number of chefs and restaurant owners in Portland are pledging to donate part of their weekend proceeds, for many around 10 percent, to the American Civil Liberties Union.

On Thursday, Hotlips Pizza shared on Facebook a list of over 50 restaurants that would be participating in the event. Here is that list:
