SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple is donating $2 million to two human rights groups as part of CEO Tim Cook’s pledge to help lead the fight against the hate that fueled the violence in Virginia during a white-nationalist rally last weekend.
Cook made the commitment late Wednesday in an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
Cook also says he strongly disagrees with President Donald Trump’s comparison between the actions of white nationalists and protesters opposing them.

Apple is giving $1 million apiece to Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. It will also match employee donations to those two groups and other human rights organizations on a two-for-one basis.

it's better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Maybe BLOTUS will match it.
that's not much considering their bottom line... But then we are talking about this going to 2 organizations and THAT is going to really help them a whole lot.
