The New York Times reports, Airbnb used the ad to call for greater acceptance among its community and will launch a campaign to provide short-term housing for 100,000 people in need over the next five years.

The ad comes after POTUS Trump signed an executive order to temporarily ban citizens from 7 countries entering the United States, causing mass outrage across the world.
