Google, $GOOGL, workers are staging sit-ins and protests over the company's $1.2 billion contract with Israel's government

Google employees across the country organized sit-ins at company headquarters, protesting Google's contract with the Israeli military and its alleged role in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Tech workers at both Amazon and Google have voiced opposition to Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract between Google, Amazon, and the Israeli government and military.

The group "No Tech for Apartheid," formed by tech workers, expressed concern that Google's technology could be used by the Israeli military for harmful purposes. While there is no evidence that Project Nimbus is being used against civilians in Gaza, the group stated that they do not want their work to support actions that harm Palestinians.

The protesters emphasized the importance of using technology to unite people rather than supporting practices such as apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler-colonialism.

Sit-ins were staged at Google headquarters in Seattle, Washington, Sunnyvale, California, and New York City. Employees demanded an end to the harassment, intimidation, bullying, silencing, and censorship of Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim employees. They also called for Google to address health and safety concerns in the workplace, particularly regarding the mental health impact of working for a company involved in actions perceived as contributing to a genocide.
