While we intended to meet as a team at the first opportunity we had this morning
to collaboratively discuss a potential visit to the White House, we accept that
President Trump has made it clear that we are not invited. We believe there is
nothing more American than our citizens having the right to express themselves
freely on matters important to them. We’re disappointed that we did not have an
opportunity during this process to share our views or have open dialogue on
issues impacting our communities that we felt would be important to raise.
In lieu of a visit to the White House, we have decided that we’ll constructively
use our trip to the nation’s capital in February to celebrate equality,
diversity and inclusion — the values that we embrace as an organization.
