@pal_legal @palyouthmvmt @AROCBayArea @ACREcampaigns @jvpliveNY @fightfortheftr @JustFuturesLaw @visualizingpal @MuslimJustice @AMPalestine @Google @amazon @lsarsour @DSA_Palestine @encodejustice @PSCupdates @NationalSJP Shamir, an @amazon product manager, speaking at the #NoTechForApartheid action in NYC:
"We are here to demand that @amazon + @Google listen to our voices...We must continue to raise our voices, until they stop profiting from apartheid."
Dylan Saba (of @pal_legal who've offered counsel to #NoTechForApartheid tech workers): "We said to the high-up executives at @amazon + @Google: it violates multiple laws for you to [retaliate against workers just] for questioning your complicity in Israeli apartheid technology."
@pal_legal @amazon @Google Speaking: Gabriel Schubiner, Engineer/AI Researcher @Google + @AlphabetWorkers organizer:
"Google retaliated against @ariel_koko , another Jewish Google worker, for her advocacy in support of Palestinians...[Google] reinforces a pervasive silencing of Palestinian voices."
On Project Nimbus:
“It’s through organizing with other workers, through our partnerships with @MPower_Change and @jvplive..and all of you who turned out, that we find strength and resolve to push @Google to drop this contract."
Up next, @lsarsour to @amazon/@Google: "We're not asking you to do anything you shouldn't already be doing. We're saying do not be complicit in the violations of human rights, whether [against] Palestinians, migrants or Black + brown communities here in NYC." #NoTechForApartheid
