Team,

Like so many of you, equality is at the core of my beliefs and values. The events of the past several days have been deeply troubling for me, and I’ve heard from many people at Apple who are saddened, outraged or confused.

What occurred in Charlottesville has no place in our country. Hate is a cancer, and left unchecked it destroys everything in its path. Its scars last generations. History has taught us this time and time again, both in the United States and countries around the world.

We must not witness or permit such hate and bigotry in our country, and we must be unequivocal about it. This is not about the left or the right, conservative or liberal. It is about human decency and morality. I disagree with the president and others who believe that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and Nazis, and those who oppose them by standing up for human rights. Equating the two runs counter to our ideals as Americans.

Regardless of your political views, we must all stand together on this one point — that we are all equal. As a company, through our actions, our products and our voice, we will always work to ensure that everyone is treated equally and with respect.

I believe Apple has led by example, and we’re going to keep doing that. We have always welcomed people from every walk of life to our stores around the world and showed them that Apple is inclusive of everyone. We empower people to share their views and express themselves through our products.

In the wake of the tragic and repulsive events in Charlottesville, we are stepping up to help organizations who work to rid our country of hate. Apple will be making contributions of $1 million each to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. We will also match two-for-one our employees’ donations to these and several other human rights groups, between now and September 30.

In the coming days, iTunes will offer users an easy way to join us in directly supporting the work of the SPLC.

Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” So, we will continue to speak up. These have been dark days, but I remain as optimistic as ever that the future is bright. Apple can and will play an important role in bringing about positive change.

Best,
Tim

Dear Tim,

Please check the meaning of the word "equivalence".

What a gong show it must be to work at place like Apple which openly debates politics in the workplace as a matter of corporate policy.

Don't you worry about that. You do not qualify for a job at Apple.

IIRC, all Chiefs of Staff of the branches of the US military have made similar statements in the last day or so.

Pluggie probably doesn't qualify for a job in the services either though,

You say the craziest things here. How do you know what I do or don't qualify for, or are you saying the main qualification is to be opposed to Trump?

I suppose it might depend on the job. Unlike you, I don't speak about my credentials or other identifying information online. You might think about that (unless your own credential claims are all BS).

Dear Tim,

Have you considered that all those taxes Apple and their ilk avoid is a key reason why one group of poor people demonize another group of poor people? Pay your taxes asshole.

Ad hominem and very immature.
Yes, Trump would be so proud !

That Bud Plug is associating fundamental human rights with politics is very telling in itself. I always thought bigotry can be found in various political stripes and is not just the exclusive sick 'alt-right' domain of Nazi's, KKK or many of the avid Trump supporters.

Errr Tim has not bankrupted his organisation multiple times, and in the process not short changed his suppliers or sent his employees home with no wages. There seems to be someone who did so on numerous occasions and he happens to occupy the Whitehouse.

WTF? Time to put your logical training wheels back on. I have no idea what you're talking about. Certainly nothing to do with this thread. I'd ask you to clarify, but I'm pretty sure (from experience) that won't help.

Apple has been accused of not paying its fair share of taxes and many people who make Apple products are virtual slaves.

Pluggie, didn't you say that you had no idea what I was talking about in one of my posts two days ago?

You'd fail the interview. They ask you some problem solving question, you'd respond with your usual sophistry, and they'd decline you and mark your file "no recycle".

And by virtual slave you mean they make quarter million dollar salaries and feel that if they quit they wouldn't find as good a job elsewhere.

Tim does not know anything about his country.

His country has always been like this.
