Thursday’s demonstration followed a hateful letter recently sent to the UW Somali Student Association. The discriminatory language sparked a call to action for several students."Seeing hate towards Muslims, especially in a heightened time of other Muslims suffering in other countries like Palestine, it’s kind of heartbreaking to see," said one student, who kept her identity private for her safety.
