Airbnb is investing $1.2M to build and refurbish soccer pitches across California ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

Starting at Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy in San Francisco with Mayor @DanielLurie, Megan Rapinoe, and @AmericaSCORESBA – together we’re building a permanent home for the next generation of players.

Starting in 2027, @Airbnb will be the official lodging partner for five of @NASCAR and @SpeedwayMotors most iconic racetracks: @TooToughToTame, @MartinsvilleSwy, @TALLADEGA, @ItsBristolBaby, and @NWBSpeedway. Short-term rentals are often the only place for fans to stay close to the action, bringing real economic opportunity for local hosts and businesses.

[Jay Carney @JayCarney]

The World Cup is coming to New York and New Jersey, and the next generation of fans will be in the stands. @Airbnb is partnering with the @YMCANYC and local organizations to put 1,000 @FIFAWorldCup tickets in the hands of young people across the region. https://t.co/UhYzJHlhNJ

Pouring one out for The Reverend Jesse Jackson. A giant and a champion for civil rights and equality.

But can anyone read Green Eggs and Ham better? No.

[Jay Carney @JayCarney]

Today @Airbnb, we are celebrating the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson and extending our deepest condolences to his family. Throughout his remarkable life, Rev. Jackson worked tirelessly to combat prejudice and expand opportunity for all Americans. We were honored that he and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition advised @Airbnb on our work to make our community more open and accessible. We are deeply grateful to have had the privilege of working alongside him.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

.@Ahmad_Al_Dahle is joining as Airbnb's new CTO.

I’m often asked about our AI strategy. We believe pairing great design with frontier technology will help us improve the way people experience travel. Excited to build!

“New York City’s ban on short-term rentals is inadvertently pushing Black and Latino homeowners towards financial hardship. The City Council must fix it.” More from @EricHolder on how Local Law 18 is squeezing Black and Brown homeowners in NYC:

Joe Gebbia’s statements don’t represent Airbnb and stand in the face of our longstanding commitment to support these communities across the country and around the world - including investing millions with community organizations here in NYC.

[Forum @forum_together]

For nearly a decade, the Forum and @Airbnb have partnered to support immigrants and refugees through shared values of welcome, opportunity, and belonging. We're proud of this enduring partnership.

[Jay Carney @JayCarney]

Joe Gebbia’s donations are his own, not Airbnb’s. Our focus is on empowering homeowners and boosting local economic growth.

A major boost is underway for local communities as Airbnb invests $1 million alongside the FIFA World Cup New York New Jersey Host Committee to build five new soccer mini-pitches across the region. https://t.co/t3ibaLc0gZ

FIFA 2026 will bring the world to Vancouver — but without action, there won’t be enough places for visitors to stay.

Special event hosting rules are a proven solution: they expand capacity, support local families, and ensure that communities — not just big hotels — share in the benefits.

It’s time to act, so fans, families, and neighbors all win.

[Global BC @GlobalBC]

A new report is warning that Vancouver lacks the hotel capacity to host the FIFA World Cup in 2026, leaving thousands of people without a place to stay while visiting the city.

Over 70% of Latinos see short-term rentals as a way to earn extra income - and many are turning hosting into long-term wealth.

A new survey from the Hispanic Wealth Project and Airbnb shows how hosting helps Latino families build financial resilience and opportunity.

Political violence is evil and indefensible. It's a cancer that will feed off itself and spread. Charlie Kirk is a human being with a family. Harming him or anyone else for their political views is disgusting and will rip this country apart and hurt everyone.
