Earlier this month I shared, before a house committee, the story of Ashley, a 31-yr old app-based health care worker in PA. We met earlier this year via research w/ Fairwork. For 2 yrs, Ashley has worked in nursing homes for ShiftKey, which allows her to bid on shifts. 🧵

“Google is genuinely afraid of their workers standing up against this project. And Google understands the power that we [No Tech For Apartheid] have, and they are afraid that by more of us speaking up, that they will actually have to do something about it.”

To be clear, Google wants workers to build tech that helps enforce apartheid and commit genocide, then shut up about it.

Huh—one of the Google workers arrested & fired for protesting Google's $1.2 billion contract with Israel says some of the 28 people who were fired were *not even involved* in the protest, and had just dropped by to chat

Google has lied about their contracts with the IDF and now that the facts are public, they are firing workers who speak up against it. These firings are retaliations against workers who refuse to participate in enabling genocide.

It’s crystal clear that Black and Brown faces in high places will not save us. In fact, they won’t think twice to criminalize, arrest, torture, and kill us.
