Linux Foundation Support for Asian Communities

The Linux Foundation - Fri, 03/19/2021 - 08:00

The Linux Foundation and its communities are deeply concerned about the rise in attacks against Asian Americans and condemn this violence. It is devastating to hear over and over again of the attacks and vitriol against Asian communities, which have increased substantially during the pandemic.
