Witnessing the horrific attack a year ago…a surreal feeling to this immigrant proudly calling Washington DC my home for 30 years. My best memories are at the National Archives visiting our founding documents to be inspired by those 3 words uniting us as Americans: WE THE PEOPLE.pic.twitter.com/VBSMUgyWRo
I felt just like so many others - paralyzed by shock and powerless to protect the basic principles of our democracy. But the act of courage from the lawmakers who returned amidst the wreckage to certify the election…it was the inspiration we needed to act too.
Over the course of a decade since @WCKitchen was founded, I have come to believe that chefs, cooks…our calling is to help people with the skills we know best: a humble plate of food to provide comfort in dark times.pic.twitter.com/OQvwp8qOAF
Most restaurants were closed because of the curfew. So I got in the car with my daughter Ines, and we started ordering pizzas from any place that was open…a dozen here, 20 there, even 50 at one place that thought it was a prank phone call!https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1347019974171361282 …
We followed the security perimeter to share a warm meal with the brave women & men from @CapitolPolice @DCPoliceDept standing guard in the cold night. I thought about my hero Clara Barton who went to the Capitol to feed wounded soldiers 150 year ago. I hoped she would be proud!https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1347060451440549889 …
Meanwhile, we activated my team at @jaleo to start cooking and distributing thousands of bowls of comforting hot soup. After activating restaurants in hurricanes and earthquakes, this was nothing that would hold us back! And like always, once we started cooking we didn’t stop…pic.twitter.com/ecGcKQrkWR
…not until we saw that peace was restored with food becoming not a problem but the solution. We shared countless meals with people from all walks of life, skin colors, religious beliefs, all 50 states & beyond…unified by the duty to defend our democracy and institutions.https://twitter.com/natemook/status/1350612211874603010 …
On my way home late that night, I stopped outside the National Archives with a renewed belief that those three words - WE THE PEOPLE - must be our inspiration to work actively each day to make our democracy and our society live up to its highest promise of longer tables for all.https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1347092674915004417 …
I’m so proud to be American and grateful to all who uphold our sacred values each day. Not only Natl Guard, Capitol Police & MPD one year ago–but people protecting voting rights, educating our kids, fighting for access to healthy food & clean water. We the people…never forget
