It’s heartbreaking to learn about more senseless events in the Bay Area and in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday. Intuit stands against racism and violence of any kind. Our Asia Pacific employees have shared the toll the recent events have had on them, their families and communities. In partnership with our Asia Pacific employee resource group, we’re hosting a dedicated safe-space conversation with employees so that we can discuss the recent events, share their experiences and discuss ways our collective Intuit community can be allies during this difficult time. In further support of the Asia Pacific Community, we are making a donation to Stop AAPI Hate. In addition, we are doubling donations made through our employee giving campaign, which is part of our We Care and Give Back program. We hope you will stand with us and the Asia Pacific community in solidarity to stop the hate. Previous Post 5 Lessons to Choose to Challenge the Status Quo Next Post Tech women need allies.
