#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.

#NoTechForApartheid

Adopted only days after the UN passed the illegal and unethical Plan of Partition of Palestine 76 years ago, the Declaration has been systematically violated by Israel throughout its existence as a settler-colonial apartheid state. Image
PRESSURE YOUR GOVERNMENT TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL, INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE MILITARY EMBARGO.

This isn’t a choice but a duty: Sanctions on Israel were voted for by a global majority of 124 states on 18 September at the UN General Assembly. Image

Strauss Group forced to sell Sabra Dipping Company due to dipping sales! Image
The Strauss Group, a complicit Israeli multinational food and beverage corporation, has been forced due to a very effective boycott, to sell off its shares in the US-based company, Sabra, which mass produces the culturally-appropriated popular Arab dip, hummus, and other dips. Image
Since 2008, Sabra has been co-owned by PepsiCo and Strauss. Sabra sales in the US suffered a massive blow following intensified boycotts in 2023 and 2024 in light of its parent company’s complicity in supporting Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians. Image
