If you happened to be walking through Westlake Park on the afternoon of March 1, you may have missed the Seattle-area “Tech Employees for Diversity and Inclusion” protest. It was only a handful of people holding signs and chanting: “No hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here!”
On Facebook, 334 people said they were interested in the event, 74 marked themselves as “going,” but there couldn’t have been more than a couple dozen people who actually showed up. And compared to the Women’s March, which drew 175,000 people in Seattle alone, and the immigration rights protests that had sprung up recently in response to the new administration, it was sort of a sorry sight.
