Airbnb are providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the US following the Muslim Ban

Their co-founder and CEO shared the news.

Home-sharing company Airbnb is offering free accommodation to refugees and travellers that have been barred or left stranded in the US. Brian Chesky, co-founder of the company, has tweeted his disapproval of the recent executive orders that were approved by President Trump. The executive order signed by President Trump has barred citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – from entering the US for 90 days. Chesky has said that "opening doors brings all of US together. Closing doors further divides the US. Let's all find ways to connect people, not separate them. Not allowing countries or refugees into America is not right, and we must stand with those who are affected." He shared the news via his Facebook and Twitter accounts. https://twitter.com/bchesky/status/825517729251684352 In a similar act of compassion, Qantas Australia has said that it will offer refunds or alternate destinations to any of their passengers that were blocked from entering the US. The Sydney Morning Herald have published their statement which said: "Qantas notes the advice from the US government regarding tighter entry conditions. We will reflect this change in our processes and booking systems, however it is not likely to materially impact Qantas passengers." Elsewhere,  Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings have expressed their displeasure at these recent developments. https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/825513865794293761 https://twitter.com/villarrealy/status/825473042205642753
