Hello Googlers Against ICE petition signers!
As the next step in the Googlers Against ICE campaign, the petition organizers and many signatories have collaboratively planned a Day of Visibility (DOV) in support of the demands, scheduled for Thursday April 30th. On this day, Google workers across the country will wear physical or digital tokens, from t-shirts to MOMA profile picture rings, to show unity and strength.
There will be lead-up in-person events off and on campus prior to April 30th in the NYC and Bay Area hub campuses. Google workers at these hubs and certain other campuses will be able to join Day of Visibility lunch and tabling sessions!
The Day of Visibility has three goals:
Use the pledge to provide your preferred contact details for things like merch pickup and lead-up events.
Safety: The Day of Visibility has been carefully designed to comply with Google policies. As an additional safety precaution, we have threshold numbers required to move forward with the event. The events at each campus hub will be staffed by an organizer who has been trained to liaise with security. As decided in February, we will pause and postpone the DOV unless we reach our minimum of 200 pledges by the few days before April 30th.
We need all hands on deck to make the DOV a success! To get involved and support with outreach and other needs, or if you have questions about the campaign or DOV, here are the ways to get in touch with organizers:
Stay tuned for a DOV-specific toolkit coming to your inbox next week!
