Due to zoning restrictions by the DC municipal government, Sol Café, LLC, run by George Washington University students and located at 2122 H Street, NW, is currently unable to operate. Purchased in good faith from the previous owner, under the license of American Distributors, LTD, Sol Café has been in operation since March 2008. Through said purchase, we have created a fair trade and student run community oriented enterprise. As a result, we, the undersigned, would like to appeal to the DC government and to the George Washington University for its support in maintaining our organization.

The growth of this petition has reached the level required to merit a formal hearing with the planning commission. I am currently finalizing the legal documentation for our meeting with the zoning board to discuss the licensing discrepancies. Expect a report on the outcome of that session once the officials have issued their preliminary response.

This place is a staple for students. DC government needs to stop killing small businesses that actually make the neighborhood better.

Used to go here every day between classes. GW needs to look out for its own people instead of bowing to red tape.
