FULL GOOGLE WORKER DEMANDS: notechforaprtheid.com/dayofaction SUNNYVALE LIVESTREAM: twitch.tv/notech4apartheid These courageous workers are putting their bodies & jobs on the line inside their own employers’ buildings because of their unwavering commitment to Palestinian liberation. Just last week @TIME confirmed that Google lied to its own workers, consumers & the press for years, is providing direct cloud/AI services to the IOF, and has ACTIVELY DEEPENED its partnership with Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza, signing a new $1M agreement as recently as ONE MONTH AGO. GOOGLE WORKER TESTIMONIALS: notechforapartheid.com/testimonials Last week TIME reported that 2 more Googlers resigned from the company because of Nimbus. Eddie Hatfield, a Google Cloud engineer & NOTA activist, was fired in March after their disruption of a Google-sponsored Israeli tech conference. Shortly after, 2 more workers resigned in protest of the contract after seeing Google’s clear-cut retaliation. Worker will NOT allow business as usual while Google continues to profit from the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. join NOTA ➡️ t.ly/NotaGeneralIntake.
