A Note From the Editors

Over the past week, we've thought a lot about our responsibilities as a travel site.
TRAVEL TODAY
Dear Readers,

Over the past week, we've thought a lot about our responsibilities as a travel site. While we haven't historically commented on current events, TripSavvy's mission—and that of our parent company, Dotdash—is to help people every day. We wouldn't be helping our readers or our team if we stayed silent. The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and too many others have been seen around the world, uniting us all in protest of police brutality. Demonstrations have occurred from Minneapolis to Dublin to Brazil and as far away as New Zealand. TripSavvy stands with the protesters in asserting that Black lives matter and police brutality must end. Not later, or at some nebulous point in the future, but now.

In today's newsletter, we're highlighting stories about sites, trails, and destinations significant to Black history and culture. For the remainder of the week, we will not be sending our newsletter out of respect and support for racial justice.

If you want to take direct action and you are able, please consider donating to one of the organizations listed below:

OUR PICKS
June 2, 2020
Our goal at MyDomaine has always been to help our readers make their homes a comfortable, safe place. But this week has reminded us that the ability to feel safe and comfortable, both at home and in public spaces, is a privilege that not everyone is granted. And we cannot stay silent when it comes to racism, hate, oppression, and injustice.
We can do more. We have the responsibility to spread the message of inclusivity, equality, and human rights. We are taking time to listen and learn so that we can do better.
That starts with making a greater commitment to lifting up diverse voices on our site, featuring Black-owned brands and companies run by BIPOC, and further highlighting the work of Black designers and designers of color. Black lives matter.
This week, we are pausing newsletters and social posts as we process, mourn, and think deeply about how we can do more as a brand, and as individuals. You'll be hearing from us again soon in the weeks ahead as we come up with a concrete plan to make our site a more inclusive, diverse place. And we hope you'll hold us to those promises.
Our inbox is always open. To share any feedback, questions, or suggestions with our editors, please send us a note at contact@mydomaine.com.
In the meantime, please consider donating to the below organizations dedicated to fighting racial injustice in America.

Black Lives Matter
Color of Change
The Bail Project
Black Visions Collective
Southern Poverty Law Center
Reclaim The Block
American Civil Liberties Union

At The Spruce, our mission is to help everyone make their best home. So we cannot stay silent about the injustices, discrimination, hate, and fear that many in our community are facing. We need to do our part to fight systemic racism and oppression; things need to change.
 
We can do more. We have the responsibility to use our platform to spread the message of inclusivity, equality, and human rights. We are listening, and we are learning. We will do better. Black lives matter.
 
This is just the first step, and it's not the last you'll hear from us about this. We are actively working on a concrete plan to make our team and our site more inclusive and to elevate a diversity of voices, which we will continue to share with you in the days and months to come.
 
Here are some organizations where you can donate to fight racial inequality:
 
Black Lives Matter
Color of Change
Minnesota Freedom Fund
Black Visions Collective
Know Your Rights Camp
American Civil Liberties Union
