oPEN TO aLL CAMPAIGN

What Is OPEN TO ALL?
Open to All is the nationwide public engagement campaign
to build awareness and understanding about the importance
of protecting people from discrimination—and to defend the
bedrock principle that when businesses open their doors to
the public, they should be Open to All.

What Is the OPEN TO ALL Business Pledge?
Businesses that take the pledge and join Open to All are taking
a stand for basic American values of fairness and equality. The
pledge is simple. Open to All Businesses pledge to:

• Maintain a welcoming and safe environment for people —
including employees, visitors, customers, vendors and
clients — regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion
or disability.

• Not discriminate against any individuals or deny them goods
or services based on any of these characteristics, and to
provide goods and services to everyone on the same terms.

Businesses that sign the pledge will be listed as Business
Supporters on OpenToAll.com. Participating businesses can
also show their support by displaying the Open to All sign in
a storefront window or in a place visible to customers—and
those with a Yelp page can activate the new “Open to All”
attribute. Visit Business.OpenToAll.com to learn more.

What Is the OPEN TO ALL Coalition
The Open to All coalition consists of more than 175 civil rights
and racial justice organizations; lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) organizations and community centers;
health advocates, disability advocates and faith organizations;

nondiscrimination protections and defend the principle that when
a business opens its doors to the public, it should be open to all
and not discriminate. Visit www.OpenToAll.com/supporters for a

How Can We Become an OPEN TO ALL

Business?
It’s easy. Scan the QR code to the right, or go
to Business.OpenToAll.com to add your name
and sign the business pledge.

When you sign the pledge, we’ll send you a
window cling you can display in your store—
and your business will be listed on the Open
to All website under “Business Supporters.”

Why Now?
As a nation, we decided long ago that when a business opens
its doors to the public, it should be open to everyone, on the
same terms. But shockingly, many Americans still can’t be sure
they will be treated equally when they seek goods or services
from businesses in their local communities.

No one should have to worry about whether they will be
denied service or face hostility as they go about their daily
lives. Yet far too often, we hear stories of discrimination, such
as a gay couple being kicked out of an Uber, people of color
facing abuse and violence in a diner, Muslim women ordered
to leave a café, or people with disabilities being harassed in a
restaurant.

That’s why leading businesses and others across the country
are joining together to oppose discrimination and declare that
they are Open to All regardless of race, ethnicity, national
origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression,
religion or disability.
