Nakba 75 and No Tech For Apartheid/Project Nimbus Teach-in

This May marks 75 years since the Nakba ("catastrophe" in Arabic) - when Israeli militias forced over 75% of the Palestinian population out of their homes and off their land. The roots of the injustices Palestinians face today in a separate-and-unequal Israel system began with the Nakba. This May also marks 2 years since Amazon and Google signed the Project Nimbus cloud contract with the Israeli government and military. Through contracts like Project Nimbus, companies enable the expansion and deepening of this same apartheid system. That's why tech workers are organizing to ensure that we don't build tech that violates human rights.

On May 22nd, join Amazon workers in conversation with Palestinian activists and human rights advocates to learn about the impact of contracts like Project Nimbus on Palestinian communities. We'll also share what workers are doing to organize to ensure that our labor doesn't power these human rights violations.
