Just got this in an email from a travel agency I used for a trip recently:
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
-Desmond Tutu
One of the reasons we’re so passionate about travel is that we know it builds bridges and breaks down borders. We travel to experience, celebrate and lift up cultures across the globe.
As a company, we have a platform uniquely suited to changing perspectives — yours and ours. It’s our responsibility to use that platform thoughtfully. The recent and righteous protests across the US — and around the world — have made us pause to reflect, learn and discuss how we use our voice to help combat the problem.
We can do better. We’ve started by making a donation to the NAACP Legal and Education Defense Fund. And with the issues of anti-racism at the forefront of our minds, we’ll make changes to become stronger allies and to support the Black community.
Stay safe.
Yours,
