Google employees are protesting their company's 'Project Nimbus' contracts with the Israeli government after a No Tech For Apartheid protestor was fired.
Google workers in California and New York are planning a sit-in protest of the company’s ties to Israel on Tuesday, organizers from “No Tech for Apartheid ” tell Gizmodo . The protestors demand their company drop Project Nimbus , a $1.2 billion contract held by Google and Amazon to provide cloud computing services to the Israel i government and military.
Part of Tuesday’s No Tech for Apartheid protest is about reinstating Eddie Hatfield. Google fired Hatfield, a 23-year-old software engineer, who interrupted an executive’s presentation last month by yelling “No tech for apartheid!” at an Israeli tech conference in New York. A Google spokesperson told The Verge that Hatfield was fired for interfering with a company-sponsored event, not for the specific thing the employee yelled.
