Okulandelayo yisitatimende esivela ku-Scott Simpson, umqondisi wommeli womphakathi we-Muslim Advocates, mayelana nomhlangano we-Act for America ehhotela i-Marriott e-Crystal City, eVirginia:
“Kuleli sonto, eCrystal City, eVirginia, umbuthano omkhulu kakhulu omelene namaSulumane esizweni uyahlangana. Ngemuva kweminyaka yokusebenza kanzima emaphethelweni omphakathi, i-Act for America manje izama ukusebenzisa amandla amaningi avela enhlanganweni enesibindi yokukholelwa ukuthi abamhlophe abanamandla aphezulu kanye neqoqo elisha labangane e-White House.
Ngeke sibavumele baqhubeke nokuzama ukudlulisa umyalezo wabo wenzondo. I-Southern Poverty Law Centre ibabize njengeqembu elinenzondo, ngoba baphikisa imibono engathi shu emelene namaSulumane futhi bakholelwa ukuthi amaSulumane “awanakuba izakhamuzi ezithembekile zase-United States.”
Siphatheke kabi ngokuthi i-Marriott International inqume ukungabanaki abantu abaningi baseMelika namakhasimende abo abacele ukumelana nale ngqungquthela yenzondo. Izinkampani eziningi ezihamba phambili zinqume ukuthi azifuni ukuba inkundla yenzondo, okuhlanganisa izimbangi zikaMarriott eziqondile i-Airbnb, i-Willard Hotel, ne-Sofitel kanye nezinkampani ezinkulu ezifana ne-PayPal, Spotify, Apple, GoDaddy, ne-Google. Sithemba ukuthi, esikhathini esizayo, iMarriott izonquma ukuba ihhotela elingenayo inzondo ukuze kuzuze abasebenzi bayo namakhasimende.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- After years of toiling on the fringes of society, Act for America is now trying to capitalize on a surge of energy from the emboldened white supremacist movement and by a new set of friends in the White House.
- We hope that, in the future, Marriott will decide to be a hate-free hotel for the good of its employees and customers.
- The following is a statement from Scott Simpson, public advocacy director of Muslim Advocates, concerning the Act for America convention at the Marriott hotel in Crystal City, Virginia.
