BOSTON (WHDH) -

Uber is offering free rides to and from places important to Boston’s LGBT community, the company announced Friday.

The offer came days after the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

Uber released the following statement:

Like people across the world, we were deeply shocked and saddened by the recent murders at a gay nightclub in Orlando. The world is a brighter and better place when we are all free to be ourselves. And we want to bring people together, no matter who you are or where you’re from.

To redeem the offer, users must request to be picked up of dropped off at one of the participating locations, and a discount of up to $20 will be automatically applied.

Some of the participating locations include Club Café, Fenway Health, Boston Eagle, and DBar.

The offer is limited to two rides per person, and is valid Friday through 11:59 p.m. Monday.
