RAPINO SPEAKS OUT AGAINST THE IMMIGRATION BAN

Live Nation ruler Michael Rapino has sent out an internal memo to staff members, stressing the company's diverse and tolerant nature and urging those with concerns surrounding President Trump's recent immigration ban to come to him directly.

Over the past few days, I’ve heard from many of you with concerns about the immigration ban and the uncertainty facing the US.

Live Nation is global and diverse. We operate in 41 countries and have employees on every continent. Whether you are an employee, artist or fan, Live Nation respects all viewpoints and is fundamentally opposed to an immigration policy that divides us along religious lines or borders.

I want to assure you that HR has reached out to those in our organization who are potentially affected by the ban and we will continue to help our employees in any way possible to navigate through this confusing time.

I encourage you to come to me directly with your concerns and ideas about how to improve and empower our workplace with diversity and tolerance.
