Action Alert: Microsoft

  Microsoft wants to sweep its $19 million contract with ICE under the rug. We have other plans. Right now, SumOfUs members across the country are delivering a massive petition to Microsoft offices. Can you tweet your support to help keep the heat on Microsoft? [ Tweet NowÂ]( {NAME}, Right now, we’re showing up to Microsoft offices across the country with more than 250,000 signatures from SumOfUs members like you and our partners, calling on Microsoft to stop helping ICE hurt kids. That’s right—while Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is trying to downplay his company’s role in ICE’s deportation machine, we had other plans. We need to keep the spotlight on Microsoft and show Nadella that we won’t stop until Microsoft’s contract with ICE is abandoned. That’s why we’re mobilizing our members on Twitter to stand with protesters at Microsoft offices right now, and to tweet their support. Will you join the Twitterstorm and help us keep the pressure on Microsoft? [Make some noise on Twitter to stand with protesters denouncing Microsoft’s contract with ICE.]( [Not on Twitter?

But now, Microsoft is doing everything it can to distance itself from the cruel separation of migrant families at the border and across the country. Clearly, the pressure is working. That’s why companies like McKinsey have already ditched ICE, citing “policies that are at odds with our values.” But if child detention and family separation isn’t at odds with Microsoft values, what is? The only way to turn Nadella’s conscious is to raise the pressure on Microsoft until they can’t ignore us any longer. That’s why we’re turning up the heat today, with protests across the country and a massive Twitterstorm highlighting Microsoft’s role in ICE’s violent war on immigrants.
