NYC Tech Workers & Community Demand No Tech for Israeli Apartheid

Start: Thursday, September 08, 2022• 5:30 PM

For over a year, Amazon and Google workers have been organizing to end their companies’ $1 billion contract with the Israeli military and apartheid government. Through their contract, Amazon and Google help the Israeli government surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under siege and occupation.

The message is clear: tech workers do not want to build technology used to enable Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. And as The New York Times just revealed, when these workers speak up for Palestine, they face threats and retaliation. But they’re not stopping and we’re showing up in solidarity.

On September 8th, Amazon and Google tech workers will lead direct actions in front of their offices in New York City, the Bay Area, and Seattle to escalate the pressure on their companies.

Join workers and community organizations in New York City to say #NoTechForApartheid and show Amazon and Google that we won’t stay silent while they power violence against Palestinians.
