⚡️ BREAKING: Microsoft employees and other demonstrators with the No Azure for Apartheid movement are currently occupying the office of company president Brad Smith. Workers say they have re-established a “Liberated Zone” inside Microsoft’s executive Building 34, renaming it the Mai Ubeid Building in honor of a Palestinian software engineer killed in an Israeli airstrike. Bloomberg reported earlier today that Microsoft has spent the past year trying to crush employee dissent over its ties to Israel’s war on Gaza — including enlisting the FBI, working with police, and censoring internal posts mentioning “Gaza.” The company has suspended and fired workers who spoke out, while employees have continued to stage disruptions, from mass emails to sit-ins and viral protests. The employee-led movement is protesting Microsoft profiting from and enabling Israel’s atrocities in Palestine through its Azure cloud and AI tools. Despite repression, workers say they won’t stop until Microsoft cuts its ties to Israel’s military. According to the organizers’ statement, today’s action included deploying noisemakers into the atrium, unfurling banners, and delivering a “People’s Court Summons” to Brad Smith. Their demands include: cutting ties with Israel, calling for an end to genocide and forced starvation, reparations for Palestinians, and ending workplace discrimination. Video shows the demonstrators in the Microsoft C-suite reading their statement. Shared on Twitch (link in reply).

Coming soon to a workplace near you: the “Workers’ Intifada.” This week, they turned Microsoft President Brad Smith’s office into a protest stage—occupying it in a sit-in until police hauled them out. Take Anna Hattle as an example. She was arrested at the University of Washington Engineering building takeover, at the Microsoft encampment, and now again at Smith’s office sit-in. Last I heard, she hasn't even been fired from Microsoft yet.

DEVELOPING: Seattle’s “Workers Intifada” — a coalition of radical tech activists — has occupied the office of Microsoft President Brad Smith. Inside, they read out “charges” against Smith, accusing Microsoft of genocide, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing. Their demands: cut ties with Israel, call for an end to the war, pay reparations, and stop alleged workplace discrimination. They’ve vowed not to leave until executives meet them, warning of “increased escalations against yourself and all Microsoft executives” if ignored.

🚨 NOW: Protesters with No Azure for Apartheid set up an encampment at Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters for a second straight day, despite police breaking it up yesterday. Once again, police moved in, and organizers say “several Microsoft workers and community members were brutally arrested” — including at least one current and one former employee. Organizers named the site the “Liberated Zone” at the “Martyred Palestinian Children’s Plaza,” with an Anas Al-Sharif media tent inside, honoring the slain journalist from northern Gaza. They are demanding Microsoft end its complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. 📍15835 NE 36th St, Redmond, WA 98052 (East Campus Plaza)

NEW: Microsoft President Brad Smith held a press briefing after today’s No Azure for Apartheid occupation of his office. Asked about Microsoft’s relationship with the Israeli military, Smith said: “The vast majority of what Microsoft does for the Israeli military is protect the cybersecurity of the state of Israel… That is our primary focus. There are some other activities as well. That involve the use of Azure for storage for example, for processing of data.” On August 6, The Guardian, with +972 Magazine and Local Call, revealed that Israel’s Unit 8200 has used Microsoft’s Azure cloud to store and analyze massive volumes of Palestinian phone call data — one of the largest surveillance systems ever built for a civilian population. The data was then used to plan airstrikes on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Leaked documents show Microsoft executives, including CEO Satya Nadella, knew Unit 8200 was archiving “a million calls an hour” with custom Azure infrastructure. The revelations forced Microsoft into a second external investigation over whether its work with Israel violates its own human rights policies.

NEW: Microsoft Engineer Disrupts Nadella Keynote Over Genocide Complicity Joe Lopez, a member of the No Azure for Apartheid campaign and a firmware engineer in Azure’s hardware division, interrupted CEO Satya Nadella’s Build conference keynote on Monday. In a letter published later, he explains his journey of political awakening and condemns Microsoft for its direct complicity in “ethnic cleansing” and “crimes against humanity.” Lopez said he initially tried to stay informed and take small actions—donating, signing petitions—while continuing his work at Microsoft. But after seeing fellow employees disrupt Microsoft’s 50th anniversary event and learning more about the company’s ties to Israel’s military, he began questioning his role. “Microsoft is killing kids? Is my work killing kids?” he wrote. What followed, he said, was a painful realization that Azure’s infrastructure was actively fueling a U.S.–Israeli “war machine” and the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza. He pointed to a recent company blog post—Microsoft’s first public response to the employee campaign—as a turning point. In that post, Microsoft defended its operations in Israel, citing an internal audit conducted by the company itself and an unnamed outside firm. The audit cleared Microsoft of wrongdoing, but Lopez called it “meaningless,” especially after the company admitted giving Israel’s Ministry of Defense “special access” to its cloud technologies “beyond the terms of our commercial agreements.” Lopez called out the complicity of top executives—including Mustafa Suleyman, Brad Smith, Kevin Scott, Scott Guthrie, and Satya Nadella—and their refusal to directly address the allegations. Calling on other workers to speak out or leave, he said he could no longer be part of a company helping “level cities and exterminate Palestinians.” “If leadership continues to ignore this demand, it won’t go unnoticed. The world has already woken up to our complicity,” he added.

Mass protests have erupted across Morocco as citizens express outrage over the country's normalization of relations with Israel and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. In Rabat, tens of thousands gathered waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans demanding an end to diplomatic ties with Israel. Among the chants, many praised Ibtihal Abousaad, a Moroccan software engineer and Harvard graduate who was recently dismissed from Microsoft after she disrupted a corporate event to denounce the company’s complicity in Israel’s genocide and urged a boycott of its products.
