We honored the 150+ family members of Meta employees martyred in Gaza, and spoke-out against Meta’s silencing of Palestine and its support of apartheid Israel.
Thank you to all our speakers.
@alizakatzman read a beautiful Jewish prayer for the martyrs
Mohammad Khatami from @notechforapartheid recited some moving Quranic verses
@ramoo_z spoke about his experience as a Palestinian American who quit Meta in July due to Meta’s silencing and support of a genocide that is killing his family in Gaza
@saimaday recited some testimonies from Islam Hassan who quit over Meta’s silencing of Palestine, Ferras Hamad who was wrongfully terminated for investigating Instagram suppression issues, and an anonymous employee who shared a story about the family in Gaza he lost.
@saimaday shared her story of how she was fired for loudly calling out Meta’s censorship of Palestine
@paulbiggar from @techforpalestine shared powerful information about Meta’s complicity and entanglements with Israel
Michael from @laborforpalestine spoke about the importance of Palestine advocacy in our workplaces
@_iamblakeley spoke about the growing censorship that Instagram influencers speaking out for Palestine are facing
There is growing public anger at the depth of Meta’s complicity in supporting a genocide through its silencing of voices in Gaza and the silencing of the activist voices crying out for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide.
