Roasting Specialty Coffee in the Tug Hill Region
No ICE Mondays
As of March 31, 2025 Tug Hill Artisan Roasters will not be serving ice in drinks on Mondays. We came to this decision as a community of coffee professionals because we want to raise awareness of and advocate for undocumented persons.
First, What this is not:
This movement is not against the police. We support the police protecting our community from crime, drugs and other social issues. We want a safe place to live, work, learn, play, raise families... . This is not against the police.
What this is:
We are advocating for an end to ICE ripping apart our community by deporting members of our community.
We are advocating that people are treated as people regardless of origin or immigration status.
We are raising awareness about and giving voice to those who are having their First Amendment Rights violated and are scared of the repercussions.
We will begin serving ice on Mondays once a pathway to legal status for undocumented persons residing in the United States is created.
We believe that Americans are a welcoming people and we can do better than what the fear mongering and scapegoating politicians are promoting.
We hope that other coffee professionals will join us.
