Chefs for Justice Launches in New Orleans | New Orleans News

Over twenty New Orleans restaurants are teaming up with the ACLU of Louisiana under the bold “Chefs for Justice” initiative, launching September fundraising events tied to their regular menus to support civil rights. Spearheaded by Chef Adolfo Garcia of La Boca Steakhouse, who’s hosting a special open-fire barbecue on Sept. 14 with all proceeds going to the ACLU, the campaign taps into the power of food as activism. Garcia, whose immigrant family background fuels his passion, joins forces with restaurateurs like Vyoone Therese Segué, offering themed drink flights called “Freedom Flight” and “Liberté Flight” every Friday. This grassroots movement not only amplifies the ACLU’s mission—especially immigration advocacy—but also builds community through shared values, proving that businesses can meaningfully stand for justice while attracting customers who care.
