BREAKING:@Google worker organizing with #NoTechForApartheid resigns over punishment of Palestinian & allied workers who speak up for Palestinian freedom. Workers don't want their labor to enable Israeli violence against Palestinians, but Google is systematically silencing them.🧵 
Along with 100s of other Google workers, Ariel Koren spent over a year organizing against @amazon & @Google’s $1B contract with Israeli government & military which helps them surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under occupation.
Google workers don’t want to be complicit in Israeli apartheid and human rights violations.
As @nytimes reports, one Palestinian worker said, “Project Nimbus makes me feel like I am making a living off my family’s oppression.”

Google refuses to listen to its workers and "systematically silences voices concerned about @Google’s complicity in violations of Palestinian human rights — to the point of formally retaliating against workers and creating an environment of fear," said Ariel's resignation letter.
Google workers who recorded solidarity statements testify to this, citing repeated instances of punishment, censure, or accusations of antisemitism for identifying as Palestinian, supporting Palestinian freedom, or opposing Google’s contract with Israel.

We need to have these workers’ backs as they keep organizing. On September 8, tech workers in SF, Seattle, and NYC will turn up the pressure on their companies to end their contracts with Israel. Rally with them or support from home: NoTechForApartheid.com/#DayOfAction
