Nando\u2019s also is distributing 60,000 free posters to Washingtonians that state \u201c#Everyone Is Welcome\u201d with an oversized heart. The front of the poster is not branded, to encourage widespread display. On the back, the posters include the Nando\u2019s statement and add: \u201cEven if you\u2019ve never sat at one of our tables, you\u2019re welcome to stand with us.\u201d The posters were included in copies of the free Express <\/em>newspaper, available throughout Washington, DC. Nando\u2019s also handed out the posters at its DC restaurants and encouraged shop owners, restaurants and DC residents to download printable versions of the poster at everyoneiswelcome.us<\/a><\/strong>, for display in public places.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cDuring the Inauguration, we want to make it clear that Everyone Is Welcome at Nando\u2019s and in DC. As the saying goes, even if you\u2019ve never sat at one of our tables, you\u2019re welcome to stand with us,\u201d said Burton Heiss, CEO of Nando\u2019s Peri-Peri. \u201cThis is a statement of who we are, and the values that our company and employees hold dear. It is meant to be as inclusive as possible. We hope that the campaign will catch on and start a conversation about understanding and respect.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n On Inauguration weekend, Nando\u2019s also made a donation to its longstanding partner, the DC Central Kitchen, which is helping to break the cycle of hunger in Washington. Added to that, Nando\u2019s donated 50 percent of all net proceeds generated at its six DC locations on January 20 and 21.<\/p>\n As a brand birthed in a country that has faced its own struggles with tolerance towards diversity and inclusion we would expect nothing less. We’re proud of this local brand standing up for the rights of all.<\/p>\n![\"Nandos](\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/NANDOS-1000X800.jpg\")
