🚨NEW from @CorpWatchUK:
Oracle should not be allowed to embed itself in our institutions, from health systems to universities.
Instead of throwing money at tech billionaires, this government should be investing in solutions that actually benefit workers and the public.

Google must listen to its workers and #DropNimbus!
Google tries to punish workers who speak up for what's right.
But as protests like this one show: with every attempted crackdown on worker power, more of us are joining together to take action. #FreePalestine @NoTechApartheid
Today, protesters gathered outside Google’s London HQ in solidarity with Google workers demanding that Google ends Project Nimbus, which is enabling Israel’s apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. (1/8)

We’re here outside the Royal Courts of Justice to support our courageous students against their own university who have served a possession order against the encampment. Shame on you @QMUL - All power to the students! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
It is shameful that University of Oxford administration would rather *call the police to arrest and assault students* than meet with them to confront Oxford’s role in ongoing genocide against Palestinians.
Solidarity with @OxAct4Pal! Read their statement, support the demands:

"We participated in this protest because we could see all too clearly how our day-to-day work at Google was aiding and abetting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza," write three former Google workers.

Solidarity with these 28 workers✊🏽
Google has once again shown where its priorities lie, punishing workers for speaking out.
Tech workers: read this 🧵and then take action. We each have a role to play in breaking the links of complicity powering the genocide. #StopArmingIsrael

Google terminated the employee who disrupted this week's MindTheTech conference to demand an end to their billion dollar Israeli military contract. While being fired, they told @Google HR: "I'm proud to be fired for refusing to be complicit in genocide."
