We speak with two of the leaders of the protest: Ariel Koren, a former Google employee who says she was pushed out for her activism, as well as Gabriel Schubiner, who currently works at Google and is an Alphabet Workers Union organizer. \u200b\u200b&#8221;Cloud technology is extremely powerful, and providing that power to a violent military and to an apartheid government is not a neutral act,&#8221; says Schubiner on Project Nimbus. The pair also detail how workers are rising up against what Koren says is Google&#8217;s &#8220;culture of retaliation.&#8221;<\/p>\n      \n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">This post was originally published on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/2022\/9\/1\/google_project_nimbus_israeli_military_unionizing\">Democracy Now!<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        A national day of action is planned next Thursday as protests grow against Google&#8217;s secretive $1.2 billion program known as Project Nimbus, which will provide advanced artificial intelligence tools to the Israeli government and military&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1293,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785138"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1293"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":785139,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785138\/revisions\/785139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
