I don&#x27;t use slack, I don&#x27;t even like the idea of slack, but boy, are they killing it when it comes to trying to make the tech industry a better place. They also gave their employees MLK day off. Excellent work all around.<p>This is especially important given that only 3% of San Francisco&#x27;s black population remains in the city, as economic pressure, along with intentional malfeasance on the part of the city government, has pushed most of them out over the last few decades.<p>It&#x27;s neat that lots of high paying jobs are available in the Bay Area, but it won&#x27;t really mean anything until the people who suffered through the hard times here are able to take part in the good times instead of being forced out of the way of progress.<p>So, thanks slack, it&#x27;s a hard time to live in this part of the world right now but it seems like you all are really making an effort.
