@Google is punishing an anti-Zionist Jewish worker for demanding the company end its contract with the Israeli military.

Workers don't want their labor to power apartheid — and they have the right to speak up!

Tell Google to stop its retaliation:

Last year, 2,000+ @Google and @Amazon workers demanded an end to their companies' Israeli contracts. The contracts’ cloud services can help the Israeli government and military surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under occupation.

Ariel Koren, an anti-Zionist Jew, was one of the 2,000 @Google and @Amazon workers who came out against Project Nimbus.

And now Google is punishing her for speaking up about how its contract with Israel violates Palestinian human rights.

Here's her powerful MSNBC interview:

As @latimes reports, after Ariel began publicly opposing Google's Israeli contract, Google retaliated by trying to force her out of her position.

But 500+ fellow Googlers signed a petition to defend Ariel — and workers' right to protest contracts that enable state violence.

We too believe workers should be free to speak up about how their labor is used without fear of retaliation.

Tell Google to respect workers who don't want their labor to power Israeli apartheid — starting with ensuring that Ariel remains in her position.

P.S. If you haven’t already, this is a great opportunity to rise up alongside workers and demand @Google and @Amazon cut their $1 billion Project Nimbus contract with the Israeli government and military.
