The killing of eight people, including six Asian women, near Atlanta on Tuesday has sparked a wave of grief and outrage across the U.S. and calls for an end to the hate and violence targeting Asian Americans over the past year.
Seattle-area tech companies and personalities from across the community joined in condemning Tuesday’s attack and the surge in hate crimes.
The response is similar to the way companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and others reacted last summer in the days and weeks following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
