DESCRIPTION:On August 29th, 2023, Google will hold its Google Cloud Next conference in 
 San Francisco, a major AI conference that aims to bring thousands of cloud 
 enthusiasts to the Moscone Center for a few days of “inspiration, 
 innovation, and education.” But Google’s technology isn’t being used 
 to inspire and innovate. To the contrary, it is fueling Israel’s security 
 apparatus, enabling and entrenching apartheid, state violence, occupation, 
 and land grabs through a highly lucrative billion dollar contract with the 
 Israeli government and military.\n\nFor almost two years, Amazon and Google 
 workers have been organizing to end the Project Nimbus contract, which 
 helps the Israeli government surveil Palestinians, expand illegal 
 settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under siege and 
 occupation. This year marks 75 years since the expulsion of over 75% of 
 Palestinians from their land (referred to by Palestinians as "the Nakba," 
 or "catastrophe" in Arabic). Tech workers and community activists remain 
 unwavering in their organizing to ensure that Google stop profiting from 
 and enabling the injustice and violence that began with the Nakba and that 
 Palestinians continue to face to this day.\n\nOn this hugely important 
 business day for Google Cloud (it is their first in-person conference since 
 2019) we refuse to allow business as usual. As long as Google continues to 
 profit off of the violence and repression that Palestinians face daily, 
 workers and community will show up.\n\nJoin us for a rally on August 29th @ 
 5 PM at the Moscone Center in San Francisco to say: No Tech For 
 Apartheid.\n____________________\n\nOrganized & sponsored by: Arab Resource
