In case you missed it, Amnesty International UK penned an open letter to TripAdvisor employees. TripAdvisor’s headquarters are located in Needham, MA (right here in Norfolk County).

AIUK’s concern is that by advertising tourist activities in the Occupied Palestine Territories, it is helping the economy there and normalizing the settlements. Here is a link to sign an e-petition, but watch this space for more actions!
