[…] We’re heeding the call from over 1000 #Google and #Amazon workers to rise up against the contract, known as Project Nimbus. Technology should be used to bring people together, not enable #apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler-colonialism. Following in the footsteps of those who fought to divest from apartheid South Africa and won, it’s our responsibility to rise up in support of Palestinian freedom. The Amazon and Google execs who signed this contract can still choose to be on the right side of history.
Demand Amazon & Google stop doing business with Israeli apartheid & powering the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
@zorg yes indeed .. I was prompted by this news report about STEM students petition, but forgot to include it :(
Over 1,100 STEM students and young workers from 120+ universities have signed a pledge to boycott Google and Amazon by refusing to take jobs or internships until the companies end their involvement in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract providing cloud computing services to the Israeli government. The pledge, organized by No Tech for Apartheid, aims to pressure Google and Amazon to divest from Project Nimbus, which critics argue enables Israeli apartheid and violence against Palestinians.
