You too can join the #NoTechForApartheid campaign from your home!

Dear Email,

Amazon workers are leading a direct action in front of the AWS Summit in NYC today, escalating the pressure on their company and its CEO Andy Jassy to end their contracts with the Israeli military and government.

These workers are putting their jobs on the line to protest their company’s Project Nimbus contracts, which provide services that help the Israeli government surveil Palestinians, take over Palestinian land, and inflict violence against Palestinians living under military occupation. Their message is clear: these workers don’t want their labor to power Israeli apartheid and human rights abuses.

That’s why at Amazon’s AWS Summit today, supporters from AMP's New Jersey Chapter, along with community activists and campaign partners, joined workers and interrupted the keynote speech by an AWS executive to make sure attendees heard: as long as Amazon continues to do business with Israeli apartheid, they knowingly profit off the oppression of Palestinians. 

Stand with Palestinians!

Support workers and activists speaking out. Add your name in solidarity and support them here.

#NoTechForApartheid

Dear Email,

The horrors of ongoing, escalating anti-Palestinian violence - perpetrated together by the Israeli apartheid government, military, and settlers - know no bounds. 

Just in the past month, the Israeli military waged an assault on Jenin, including its refugee camp, murdering and displacing Palestinians in an attack that made clear the Nakba remains ongoing. 

It is not only billions in both public and private funds from the U.S. that power the Israeli military and apartheid government. They are also powered by other key U.S. actors: Google and Amazon. 

That’s why on Wednesday, July 26, tech workers, community activists, and people of conscience like you will gather at Amazon’s annual Web Services Summit to tell Amazon: “No Tech For Apartheid!”

Can you show up to support tech workers speaking out against Amazon? RSVP now!

Since 2021, Google and Amazon tech workers, joined by over 50 human rights organizations, have been organizing together with the #NoTechForApartheid campaign.

They’ve been saying, loud and clear:

Tech workers do not want to build technology that could be used to expand mass surveillance of Palestinians; deepen criminalization of Palestinians; and further the ongoing Nakba, by helping to expand segregated settlements on stolen Palestinian land. 

Amazon tech workers have been ramping up their organizing against Israeli apartheid, and need your support. Can you show up to rally with workers next Wednesday, July 26 at 12:30 pm at the Javits Center?

As we mark 75 years since the Nakba, let us show Amazon and Google that we will not stop organizing in solidarity together until Big Tech stops enabling the injustice and violence that began with the Nakba and that Palestinians continue to face to this day. 

Sign up to join us and Amazon tech workers in New York City, next Wednesday, July 26, at 12:30 pm — and support workers and community activists in their demands.
