The voice of the host
Dear Host2Host Member - June's letter from Host2Host President, Alan Colley
This is a hard but necessary letter to write.
To put it politely, we are deeply distraught to see our nation - in the midst of a pandemic - again being ripped apart by racism aimed at our black brothers and sisters.
Host2Host's guiding principle from the start has been to welcome people from every culture, ethnicity and, yes, race. In this light we CANNOT be silent about the brutality we are seeing against black Americans. We believe with all our hearts that it is imperative to work together to right social and political wrongs. And we are committed to extending our hands across the spectrum of humanity - human to human, host to host...read the letter.
