#NoTechForApartheid: Amazon and Google Workers Protest $1.2 Billion Deal with Israel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of Google and Amazon tech workers are demanding the
corporations drop a $1.2 billion program known as Project Nimbus, which
will provide advanced artificial intelligence tools to the Israeli
government and military. The #No Tech For Apartheid campaign led
protests Thursday in New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Durham, North
Carolina. This is Ariel Koren, a Jewish former Google employee who says
she was forced to quit due to her activism and support of Palestinian
rights.

Ariel Koren: "Today, for the first time, across these four cities, over
10 Google workers will now be going public, unafraid, with their names,
to denounce Project Nimbus and tell our companies, Google and Amazon,
that workers say, 'No to tech for apartheid!'"
