#NoTechForApartheid campaign against Google & Amazon Web Services' cloud technology contract with apartheid Israel is growing.

Google offers learning software. Let’s teach Google respect for Palestinian human rights.

Toolkit for student & faculty ⬇️ ctt.ec/ZO31x+

The Google & Amazon contract for cloud tech, #ProjectNimbus, helps entrench Israel's regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid & occupation.

It assists the Israeli state & military in carrying out violence & ethnic cleansing against Indigenous Palestinians.

Heeding the Palestinian call to end corporate profiteering from apartheid, activists, workers, and shareholders globally call on Google & Amazon to end Project Nimbus.

Non-assistance to crimes against humanity is an international duty.
#NoTechForApartheid

Corporate tech giants are complicit in denial of workers rights, surveillance and militarization.

We need to build intersectional, global campaigns for justice. Let’s develop the #NoTechForApartheid campaign, linking effective Palestine solidarity with these struggles.

In 2021, Google and Amazon workers wrote to management, urging them to end this contract. Recently, shareholders also demanded an end to these contracts in stockholders' meetings.

Students oppose the use of their talent to serve apartheid.
