“In the wake of violence, insurrection and white supremacist terror, we are coming together to make our commitment to building a multi-racial America where we are all safe and free,” activist Valarie Kaur said, who is leading the event with partners Amplifier, the Revolutionary Love Project, Dream Corps and Sounds True.
Virtual conversations, vigils and performances will feature activists and celebrities, including America Ferrera, Debra Messing, Florence Pugh and Rosario Dawson.

Dear Steve Hafner:
Let me first say that Kayak.com is bookmarked on my computer. I think it's the best travel site out there. I've used Kayak for every single flight I have ever booked since 2005. And I travel a lot -- at least 50,000 miles a year. You provide a tool I use all the time.
So when I read your blog post defending your company's decision not to renew advertising of All-American Muslimon TLC, I was furious. I was troubled when anti-Muslim groups like the Florida Family Association (Ffa) began to target the show for depicting Muslim Americans as regular people. But I didn't think it would actually work! First Lowe's withdraws support. Now Kayak, one of my favorite companies?!
Now I know that you handled the matter differently from Lowe's, who openly acknowledged that it gave in to pressure. Instead, you stated that your decision, which came three days after Lowe's,...
