Since March of 2020, the Independent Restaurant Coalition has been fighting for a better future for independent restaurants and bars across the country. We recognize that although the pandemic might be over, the struggle to operate a small business in today’s economy surges on. 

The IRC is the only organization explicitly advocating for independents at the federal level - and we can’t do this important work without your support!

Together, we can build a sustainable future for independent restaurants, their employees, and the communities they support.

We hope you'll consider joining us as a member or volunteer. If you have questions about the organization, or an idea on how to get involved that's not listed here, please drop us a line.
