Yesterday, almost 800 workers at Amazon and Google joined forces to demand their employers pull out of Project Nimbus – a $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud services for the Israeli military and government – and cut all ties with the Israeli military.
The courageous workers at every level of Amazon and Google are making it very clear that technology should be used to bring people together, not enable apartheid and violence.
Project Nimbus is designed to make the Israeli military that carries out atrocities in Gaza — and the government that carries out the daily business of apartheid — more oppressive and deadly for Palestinians.
Batool Syed, a lead organizer of the campaign and employee at Amazon, told AMP today, "We know that this contract further enables Israel's oppression of Palestinians. We're concerned, we're outraged, and we will no longer be complicit as our companies continue this pattern of militarization that follows working with ICE, the US military, and policing agencies. We are urging Amazon and Google to respect human rights and dignity by dropping Project Nimbus and committing to ethical business practices."

Dear Burhan, I want you to see this because it confirms what you and I know to be true. Voters believe in the right to boycott in opposition to occupation and illegal settlements. This is not controversial. It is American, in fact. I hope you share the findings and use it in your own advocacy. - Jim FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: communications@aaiusa.org A Plurality of American Voters Support Ben & Jerry's Decis
