Teaism has been named the most socially responsible restaurant in the D.C. area and to celebrate a “carrotmob” is being held there. On November 13th, a crowd will “mob” Teaism in Penn Quarter at 400 8th Street, NW at 10am. There will be a program and presentation at 11:30.
Teaism is being honored for providing all of their workers with 5-7 sick days per year. Restaurant Opportunities Center of DC (ROC-DC), DC Employment Justice Center and Wider Opportunities for Women are among the organizations behind the Carrotmob. All three are also Women’s Foundation Grantee Partners.
According to ROC-DC, “‘Carrotmob’ comes from the phrase ‘use the carrot, not the stick.’ Carrotmob is a method of activism that enables consumers to use their buying power to reward businesses that will take socially responsible actions. Carrotmob channels customers to companies with good business practices.”
