OAKLAND, CA, MAY 7, 2020-Twenty-five businesses from companies across the country have committed to addressing racial disparities by signing on to a letter from Open to All urging the business community to examine and work to combat the disparities and discrimination that have caused the COVID-19 global crisis to disproportionately impact Black, Latinx/Hispanic, and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities.

Washington, D.C. - Celebrities, civil rights leaders, LGBT advocates, hundreds of businesses, faith leaders, and many others are uniting to celebrate "Open To All Week," affirming that businesses open to the public should be open to all - and not given a license to discriminate. "Open To All Week" coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1968 landmark civil rights decision in Newman v. Piggie Park (which observed businesses could not discriminate against African Americans), and comes at an urgent moment as the court is now preparing to hand down its decision in a similar case (Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission), involving a Colorado business that refused service to a same-sex couple. Influencers, civil rights leaders, and others this week are tweeting out selfies, holding "Open To All" signs to highlight what's at stake in the Masterpiece case, and how a loss would threaten the legacy of the Piggie Park decision.
