For many East Bay businesses still reeling from the closures and loss of sales caused by the coronavirus outbreak and pandemic, the curfew created yet another obstacle.
On Monday, Alameda County issued a countywide curfew barring its residents from being outdoors in any public space from 8 p.m. each night until 5 a.m. the following day. The order, which was issued by the Alameda County Sheriff, was echoed later that day by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who announced a state of emergency and citywide curfew “until further notice.”
Chef Nelson German, owner of the restaurants alaMar Kitchen and Sobre Mesa in Uptown Oakland, noted an uptick in orders on Wednesday afternoon, as the local community rallied around his and other black-owned businesses in a show of solidarity. German decided to close his restaurants an hour early at 7 p.m., to allow his staff time to get home before the curfew went into effect.
“As a business owner, I understand both sides of the curfew issue. I don’t want looters taking advantage,” he said. Unlike some nearby businesses, Nelson decided not to cover his restaurants’ windows with plywood boards. Instead, he hung up handwritten signs that said “Proud to be Black-owned,” “#ReallyBlackOwned” and “#StandUnited.” His restaurants have not been damaged during the protests.
