    While the early days of the pandemic were unfolding, I saw how people were sharing stories about which businesses were open and who they were buying from. These stories were tremendously helpful, but terribly hard to discover when you need something.

    These actions are just the beginning. We must continue to listen and educate ourselves with open minds and hearts. We must continue to take meaningful action and stand together in support of positive change. We have a long way to go. But we are committed to the journey.

    As impactful as it is to fund organizations doing this important work, we need to turn inwards to our own company and recognize our own shortcomings. With that in mind, we are furthering our Diversity & Inclusion investments to include training specifically on anti-racism.

    So much pain, prejudice and inequality. It’s heartbreaking to see how far we still have to go. As a tech startup, we must be more deliberate with every effort for equality. As a founder, I’m committed to take action.

    We stand against racism and in solidarity with the Black community in their fight for justice and equality. We recognize that as an organization and as an industry, we must start with ourselves to be the change we want to see.

    Since COVID-19 happened and travel as we knew it came to a standstill, UGC has moved from a nice to have to a must-have to engage locals and build trust with future travelers.
